When the team behind The Family Money Show got in touch to discuss potential contributors to the series, we immediately knew who fit the bill. Author Alastair Humphreys recently published his book 'Ask An Adventurer', in which he shared his experiences and advice on how to live a life of adventure, whilst still paying the bills and securing those all-important funds to get away from it all. Among stories from his many outdoor escapades, Al chatted with host Gabby Logan about how he has become a self-confessed money geek after years of ignoring his finances and how he funded a four-year trip around the world with just £7,000. You can listen to Al's honest and insightful podcast appearance 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.
