More4 has commissioned a new ob-doc series following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse.

Leeds-based Wise Owl Films – that makes Amanda Owen’s Farming Lives – will film Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids as a 10 x 60’ show, to tx as two 5 x 60 runs.

The series producer is James Knight with Mark Robinson as executive producer. Wise Owl Films is a non-scripted label of Lime Pictures, part of All3Media.

Filmed over two years, the series will follow Amanda, Clive and their nine children as they renovate a derelict neighbouring property known as Anty John’s, uncovering the history of the building’s former owners along the way.

Owen said: “It is fantastic More4 have given us the opportunity to showcase what we do best, working as a team and battling the elements whilst trying to reinstate the farm next door to its former glory.

“It is no exaggeration to say that filming outdoors on an exposed hill end in Swaledale was at times a huge challenge for the Wise Owl film crew, but their dedication and enthusiasm has never waned. This new project has been a huge undertaking for the whole family and one we are excited to be able to share with the viewers at home.”
