Yorkshire Shepherdess' Shocking First TV Gig
28 Nov
Summary
- Amanda Owen's first TV appearance was 17 years ago.
- She appeared as Amanda Livingstone-Owen with a baby.
- Julia Bradbury's crew got lost in bad weather.
Amanda Owen, widely known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, is unrecognisable in her television debut from 17 years ago. In an unearthed BBC documentary appearance, then known as Amanda Livingstone-Owen, she is seen with a baby and a different hairstyle, meeting Julia Bradbury on Ravenseat Farm.
The episode of Wainwright Walks: Coast to Coast featured Julia Bradbury traversing the Yorkshire Dales. During the filming, severe weather conditions led to Bradbury and her crew getting lost, with Owen's husband eventually rescuing them after one crew member twisted an ankle.
This early TV spot predates Owen's rise to fame with her family on Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm. The series concluded after five seasons, coinciding with the public announcement of Amanda and Clive Owen's separation after 22 years of marriage.
