We are beyond thrilled that Alex Bescoby's The Last Overland has been shortlisted for the prestigious Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year award. Alex's account of his 13,000 mile journey from Singapore to London in a vintage 1955 Land Rover has also recently been acknowledged by both Wanderlust and Waterstones as one of their top 10 best travel books of the year. We wish Alex all the best of luck at the main event on March 16th when the winner will be announced.
Our Farm Next Door repeated on Channel 4
After another successful run on More4, the second series of Our Farm Next Door is currently enjoying a repeat screening on Channel 4. Following the lives of the Owen Family as they restore a 200-year-old derelict farmhouse to provide a long-term future home for their children, the series has been a huge hit with More4 viewers and has become the channel's highest rating show of the past 18 months. Our Farm Next Door has also recently been shortlisted for best documentary series at the RTS Yorkshire Awards, so we'll be keeping everything crossed for success in October.
