One of the BBC's most popular programmes, Countryfile airs weekly on BBC One and reports on rural, agricultural and environmental issues in the UK.
Launched in 1988, Countryfile replaced the long-running show Farming with the aim of covering a broader view of the countryside. John Craven is the show's longest-standing presenter, working on the programme for more than 35 years after joining the show in 1989.
Regular presenters also include Matt Baker, Anita Rani, Tom Heap and Adam Henson. Plus, Sean Fletcher, Hamza Yassin, Joe Crowley, Charlotte Smith, Margherita Taylor, Vick Hope and Steve Brown also appear on the show.
Here is our weekly TV guide to Countryfile, including what's coming up on the show and what time it airs on BBC One.

Margherita Taylor, Sammi Kinghorn, and Adam Henson will be presenting Countryfile this week.
What is on BBC Countryfile this week?
Countryfile explores life after dark on the North York Moors, one of the UK’s Dark Sky Reserves. At the Dark Skies Festival, Margherita Taylor finds out how light pollution is affecting nocturnal wildlife, while Sammi Kinghorn meets the people gathering vital dark-sky data and installing wildlife-friendly lighting to help protect the night. And as dawn breaks, Adam Henson is at a cattle mart meeting apprentices already used to starting work long before the sun comes up.
What was on BBC Countryfile last week?
For sheep farmers, lambing is make or break, a short, intense window of long days and sleepless nights where every decision and every newborn lamb can shape a farm’s fortunes for months to come.
In this lambing special, Adam Henson and Anita Rani headed to Devon. With its near-perfect mix of landscape, climate and farming tradition, the south west is an ideal region for lambing.
From scanning ewes for pregnancy to the rush of new births and bottle-feeding vulnerable lambs through their early days, Adam and Anita looked at all stages of lambing, following the teamwork, care, and expertise that bring new life safely into the world in a county shaped by generations of sheep farming.
