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?
Lambing season is the crux of the UK’s sheep-farming calendar – a high-stakes, hands-on period that defines rural livelihoods, demands round-the-clock care and shapes the year’s success from pasture to plate. As three of the programme's presenters know only too well...
- Adorable images of newborn lambs capture the beauty and vulnerability of lambing season in Lakeland
- Meet the sheep-farming opera singer Gwawr Edwards
Adam Henson, Sammi Kinghorn and Matt Baker are busy on their own farms at the height of lambing season. Each has a different system and different goals. Sammi and her dad lamb large flock numbers indoors and are looking to breed the ‘best mothers’. Matt and his mum recently changed from intensive numbers to a small flock of hardy sheep outside, while Adam continues to develop ways to breed more efficiency into his flock.
