The fab John Craven for starters.

I love The Impressionist take on it where Julia is trying to escape from Cravern.

It was so much better when it was on in the mornings, there was more john craven and they talked about real issues.

i prefered the old lunchtime format for real rural people. its become a bit how the middle class, greeny urbanites think/want the countryside to be about.

A great programme takes you away from the doom and gloom of International news and shows what is happening in the countryside.
Not to be missed

Agree with this, for me it is required viewing on a Sunday evening whilst eating my dinner...tonight it was jerk chicken with rice and peas whilst watching items about sea-horses and meadows...what a lovely way to round off the weekend.

Loved the stuff about meadows today. Also never been to that bit of coastline between Exmouth & Swanage, given me an idea for hols next year.

And that Ellie Harrison is easy on the eye too.....

[Blimey - just realised. Now over 1500 posts. Must get out more]

Yep Ellie very nice. Was expecting her to adopt a mermaid look for diving with the seahorses, but that may just have been me.

Its funny but they never show the really interesting stuff like intensive farming, the virtual slave labour of the crop pickers, Geneticaly Modified crops and the latest pesticides and herbicides.

I think you are missing the point of the show! Turn over to Channel 4 for that kind of leftie stuff.

I remember that did the same about 4 years ago, calling it the largest area of lowland heath.

Guilty pleasure? Absolutely not. Essential Sunday evening viewing along with Antiques Roadshow.

 

[METALMICKY]

Not a patch on Out of Town!

 

[Giraffe]

Blimey, a bounce of my thread from 2010. Hate to say it but I don't watch anymore!

Indeed, surely a guilty pleasure is something you know is shit/naff but enjoy anyway? Countryfile is neither shit of naff.

Presumably found some guiltier pleasures

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Not a patch on Jack Hargreaves and Out of Town. True legend.
