Sick of the lack of balance." And another sniped: "@BBCCountryfile is now the most negative programme on TV.""Soooo the BBC should change the name to either countrywoke or wokefile #countryfile," a fellow Twitter/X user wrote.

At the top of the show, Charlotte began: "Ashdown Forest in East Sussex is a diverse landscape of open heathland, hills and is a haven for wildlife."Matt continued: "It is the inspiration behind A.A Milne's 100-acre Wood from Winnie the Pooh."
