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?

Matt Baker and Sammi Kinghorn trace the paw prints of a river legend – Tarka the Otter – to explore how the people of North Devon have helped the Eurasian otter claw back from near-extinction.

From the winding Tarka Trail beside the Rivers Taw and Torridge, Matt and Sammi meet farmers, poets and even footballing legend David Seaman, who find peace along these tranquil banks, watching the wildlife that calls them home. And at journey’s end, Sammi witnesses the release of two orphaned otters returned to the wild.

On his farm in the Cotswolds, Adam Henson is dealing with the fallout of a dry summer that’s left grass in short supply for his livestock while also working to protect his herd from the bluetongue virus threatening cattle nationwide.
