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 most long-standing presenter, working on the programme for more than 30 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.

What is on BBC Countryfile this week?
At the northernmost edge of mainland Scotland, a spectacle unfolds – Orca Watch – a chance to catch a glimpse of one of our most awe-inspiring cetaceans. At survey sites dotted along the Caithness coast near John O’Groats, volunteers assemble for an annual nine-day survey to document these creatures, and this year, Hamza is joining them. While he scans the horizon for tell-tale dorsal fins, Hamza learns how citizen science is transforming what we know about one of the ocean’s most intelligent and elusive predators.
‘People power’ is the mantra of Orca Watch – and as Hamza makes his odyssey along the coast, he joins other people dedicating their lives to nature and the environment here: the teenager championing an endangered butterfly; the volunteers with a passion for their local beaches; and the man who created a haven for terns in his back garden.
