If you wish to see the UK at its best, you should watch the BBC's TV programme, 'Countryfile'.
Peaceful music, prancing Lambs, and the ever-youthful John Craven, make the programme unmissable Sunday afternoon viewing.
The UK's wildlife is always on view, projects to reintroduce lost species are always shown, and life in the countryside always at the fore; as well as looking to the health of our coastal waters.
This is a programme for country folk, for people like me who try to pretend that nasty aggressive inner city life doesn't exist. We want to see Robins nesting, Foxes with their cubs, and black and white Dogs doing what they do best. We want to hear how our countryside is being protected, and how traditional country sports are still there to ensure a healthy population of wild-life.
If you wish to breathe some fresh mountain air, soak yourself in gentle English sunshine, or give your wellies their first outing for months, then watch Craven & Co as they show us the very best of our countryside.
The programme's presenters are all good, honest, country folk. They don't shout, go on strike, or carry insulting banners. They are 'Middle England' decent folk, who care for their environment. John Craven, the senior presenter, is just as he was X years ago on Blue Peter, and most men are in love with Ellie Harrison. There's a lot to be said for 'Countryfile'.

Sounds good but "Not available in my region".
Not even in YouTube?
Sounds idyllic. Good viewing. Something to enjoy amidst all your troubling news
Was always my Sunday evening deadline to sit down and watch when in UK.
It possibly gives an idealistic view of Britain, but I do like 'feel good' TV.
It's simply a very uplifting show.
Doesn't look like it but we may be able to get it on a pay tv subscription. Mind you we watch so little t.v. it may not be worth it. Will have a look anyway.
I agree absolutely.
I used to watch it every Sunday but haven't seen it for years now. Perhaps I'll take a look on iplayer.
I love Countryfile. I was a Young Farmer in my youth and nearly married a farmer. The Countryfile weather forecast was trusted more than the BBC back then .... Happy days x
It's one of the very few shows I really enjoy.
It's still as good as ever.
I'm a frustrated farmer. I think it's in my blood.
It's a Sunday institution in our house.
Black and white dogs doing what they do best... with black and white bitches? No - I do not want to see that thank you very much.
If I remembered, it would be here too.
I was referring to singing. The Black and White Mongrel Show.
From what I've seen, Clarkson s Farm is perhaps a more realistic take on a farmer's life?
And a lot more fun. I like Clarkson, both on TV and in The Sunday Times!
Think you might be confusing John Craven and John Noakes. John Craven was on Newsround.
Wasn't he on Blue Peter? My memory has gone crazy.
Sounds a delight, thank you for the recommendation.
Just checked and he wasn’t a Blue Peter presenter.
They have certainly changed since the days of Valerie Singleton!
A nice gently programme; if you like that sort of thing.
Oh well!
It sounds like a delightful program. I'll look for it in the US. Lately, I am watching Monty Don and I enjoy his presentations.
He's very good. Another gentle countryside programme. His dogs are always popular here.
Ellie Harrison left in 2023 though Cro! I agree, a lovely gentle programme speaking as an enforced townie.
