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.

What is on BBC Countryfile this week?
This week, Joe Crowley, Margherita Taylor and Adam Henson explore a side of the Isle of Wight few visitors ever see. Beyond the beaches and bustling holiday towns, the island’s rare geology and southerly location have shaped a landscape rich in surprises, from unusual marine life and distinctive habitats to crops more often associated with warmer climates.
What was on BBC Countryfile last week?
Last week, Sean Fletcher and Adam Henson were in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, for the Balmoral Show, the region’s largest agricultural and food event, welcoming more than 100,000 visitors each year. As the Show celebrated its 157th year, Sean and Adam met the people who make it such a vital gathering for the region’s farming community and explored how events like this are crucial to their future.
Adam explored heritage crafts that the community is determined to preserve and joined families showing their prize livestock, while Sean was in charge of the stopwatch at the tractor-handling competition and got hands-on with traditional local produce valuable to the region’s economy.
