“The show is a quintessentially lovely mix of engaging family characters, beautiful landscapes, and nature battling the elements which is proving irresistible to buyers from a varied range of countries all looking for escapist content.”
The move marks a huge step for Amanda, who first starred with husband Clive on television in ITV’s The Dales, which was when they only had five children, in 2011.
They next appeared in New Lives in the Wild UK during 2015, and this gave them the confidence to go it alone with their family for a programme of the own about life on the farm.
With four more children arriving, the Owens back firm TV favourites and they will soon be delighting viewers abroad as well.
