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?
John Craven and Vick Hope are in the Cotswolds, exploring one of Britain’s most iconic rural landscapes. While its rolling countryside, historic villages and farming heritage attract visitors from far and wide, protecting what makes the region special is an ongoing challenge.
John meets the people helping to support nature and sustainable farming, while Vick discovers the skills and craftsmanship preserving the distinctive character of the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, Adam Henson gets hands-on with some of the region’s rare breeds and the efforts to secure their future.
What was on BBC Countryfile last week?
Last 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.
