    Yet More Woke BBC Nonsense

    Yet more woke propaganda from the BBC. Save your money and cancel your BBC license!

    Typical BBC rubbish

    Metropolitan, woke view of the countryside.

    Constantly taking every opportunity to bash Brexit.

    Interesting Sunday mornimg rural affairs magazine programme

    Countryfile is one of the better programmes than are shown on Sunday Mornings.

    Each show has reports on rural issues including farming, wildlife, rural transport(especially railways) and a viewers' video diary. You also get the weather forecast for the week ahead. Sometimes, we see reports about other countries' rural affairs.

    Countryfile is hosted by former Newsround presenter John Craven. Other presenters include Ben Fogle and Michaela Strachan.

    Watching this is a nice way to spend half an hour on a Sunday morning, although some programmes now last an hour.

    Dull and politically motivated

    Sorry, this is another BBC programme that has become unwatchable. Not representative of the reality of the British countryside or the vast majority of the population who live there. The agenda is clear and the stories are shaped around it, the annual calendar campaign is a bore-fest, by all means raise money for a good cause but make it specific / relevant to the subject of the show and come up with a creative idea!!! Not sure how long the BBC believes it can continue to drive the narrative regardless of what viewers actually think.

    Real shame as some of this programme used to be informative . I'm really struggling to find BBC shows that I actually want to watch, would trade my license for an alternative subscription if I could.

    A necessity - reminds you what is important

    I really can't believe Countryfile gets an overall poor review - can only imagine those that love it (and there are many) aren't the 'type' to leave reviews, while those that do really aren't interested in our Countryside?

    It concentrates on the so-important issues in our Countryside, and farming communities - the health and welfare of animals, habitat and the people who live in and support what makes our Country special. While showing the beauty of our U. K., with engaging presenters. What's not to love.

    Truly essential viewing for what is truly important in our Country....
