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.
Who are the Countryfile presenters this Sunday?
Charlotte Smith and Adam Henderson will be presenting Countryfile this week.
What is on BBC Countryfile this week?
This week, Charlotte Smith and Adam Henson visit Oswestry Livestock Market, one of the region’s largest weekly cattle and sheep markets. As spring trading peaks, they step into a fast-moving world where fortunes can change in minutes.
With livestock numbers falling and markets closing nationwide, Oswestry remains a crucial lifeline, not just for trade, but for farming communities to come together.
What was on BBC Countryfile last week?
Last week, Matt Baker and Vick Hope explored the chalk landscapes of the Chilterns, where rare grasslands, seasonal streams, and specialised wildlife all depend on the fragile ground beneath their feet. But as habitats have been lost and broken into isolated fragments, some species have declined.
Matt met farmers working together to reconnect these landscapes, helps protect the endangered Duke of Burgundy butterfly, and discovers how drone technology is transforming a chalkland vineyard. Vick visited a rare winterbourne stream that flows only after winter rains as restoration work helps bring it back to life.
Meanwhile, Adam Henson welcomed a rare-breed Middle White pig to his Cotswolds farm and trialled crops that could cut fertiliser use.
