Countryfile viewers were left disappointed once again as they felt the BBC series failed to discuss the important topics such as ongoing farming issues and loss of land.
During tonight’s episode, Anita Rani visited Hinton Ampner, a medieval village and country estate near Winchester.
The grounds were being examined for archaeological traces so no important artefacts are lost before the estate land is turned from grasslands and farmland to biodiverse habits.
Elsewhere, a collection of stories of historic find from the Countryfile archives were show, but this left viewers annoyed with the BBC’s “lack of care”.
Taking to their X accounts, one furious viewer notes: “I’ve noted that #Countryfile are now using the term BCE (before Common Era) instead of BC (before Christ)
“The @BBC are so ‘right on’ but to me it’s just insidious reprogramming by our National Broadcaster.”

“#countryfile turnoff - another off the point episode,” another fumed before a third added: “Bronze Age descendants?
“The number of people mixing up descendants and ancestors is getting worrying now. @BBCCountryfile."
“Think they're scraping the barrel a bit with this episode of #Countryfile,” another expressed before a fifth exclaimed: “What’s this got to do with countryside issues? Boring episode again!!” (sic)
Other views asked what had happened to the farms, farming and animals which usually are featured in the episodes.

This isn’t the first time in which the BBC programme has let its viewers down, as last Sunday they were told the incorrect information of one of their key locations.
Fans were told by Sean Fletcher that the prehistoric hill figure, The Uffington White Horse, was part of the Marlborough Downs when in fact it’s located in Oxfordshire.
Just seconds into the show, Fletcher remarked: “The Marlborough Downs is a landscape of diverse habitats and ancient remnants from a forgotten time, including huge chalk horse carved out of these rolling hills.”
Many viewers were quick to notice the error, and didn’t hold back on their social media accounts.

Over the last couple of weeks, the series has been slammed for it’s “lack of balance” and getting the topic of discussion “way off”.
Just a few weeks ago, Charlotte Smith and Matt Baker were looking back at the heritage of Winnie The Pooh – but left a lot of viewers confused and uninterested.
