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 the following year.
Regular presenters also include Matt Baker, Anita Rani, Ellie Harrison, Tom Heap and Adam Henson. Plus, Sean Fletcher, Adrian Chiles, Hamza Yassin, Joe Crowley, Helen Skelton, Charlotte Smith, Margherita Taylor 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?
It’s 75 years since the transformative National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949 opened up large swathes of the British countryside for everyone. Sammi Kinghorn and Matt Baker explore the first national park created by this act - the Peak District.
Sammi finds out how Ethel Haythornthwaite, a passionate advocate for the countryside, was instrumental in the preservation of the Peak District. Sammi also visits a local bootmaker and gets to grips with the traditional methods, still used today, to make a pair of working boots.
Matt learns about the risks exploring our wild spaces with the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation as they look back on 60 years of saving lives in the national park. We also meet a farmer championing the call of the curlew on his land, whilst Tom looks to the future as he investigates some of the challenges facing our 15 national parks. And in the run-up to Christmas, Adam discovers how the turkey became the centrepiece of our festive feasts.
