Since 1988 the programme has been reporting on the people, places and stories making news in the British countryside. Swaledale The first ever Countryfile was filmed in Swaledale in North Yorkshire. The sweeping river valley is carved out by the River Swale, but access to the river is an ongoing issue. John Craven heads to Keld on the river bank to revisit a story which Countryfile reported on two decades ago. Many canoeists think they should have access to rivers just like ramblers do in the countryside, however, anglers are concerned that their private, and often paid for, retreats will be overwhelmed. John also explores an institution which the show has become famous for - the BBC weather forecast. Weatherman Bill Giles, who presented the first ever Countryfile weather forecast, takes a trip down memory lane. John gets a surprise when he comes face to face with his dead ringer. Impressionist Jon Culshaw dons the famous red jacket, Wellington boots and glasses for their first meeting.442008-08-03452008-08-10John Craven visits Weymouth as it prepares to host the 2012 Olympic sailing events.462008-08-17472008-08-24482008-08-31John Craven heads to Warwickshire, where this year's harvest is in full swing.Season 9Season 10Season 11Season 12Season 13Season 14Season 15Season 16Season 17Season 18Season 19Season 21Season 22Season 23Season 24Season 25Season 26Season 27Season 28Season 29Season 30Season 31Season 32Season 33Season 34Season 35Season 36Season 37Season 38
