John Hudson was recently invited by leading gaming network IGN to review the classic computer game The Forest, which focusses on a lone survivor of a plane crash and his bid to stay alive. As the UK military's chief survival instructor, John is supremely qualified to point out the do's and don'ts, as well as the realities of how to survive in extreme circumstances. This fun and factual analysis of the game proved very popular indeed with the IGN gaming community, many of whom were eager for John to make a return visit. As one viewer commented, "honestly, just hire him for everything". High praise indeed. You can watch John's review of The Forest here.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
