Countryfile leaves fans baffled with latest episode after schedule shake up
COUNTRYFILE viewers were left disorientated after the BBC show moved from its regular slot.
Countryfile has become a firm Sunday night favourite for fans, with the programme usually airing between 5.30pm and 7.30pm on the broadcaster’s flagship channel.
Its time slot usually changes to accommodate what else viewers are able to watch during the day.
But, fans of the show were left “confused” when the show aired on Tuesday and not its regular Sunday slot.
Taking to Twitter, one said: #Countryfile on my screen tonight is messing with my head. What day is it again?”
Another wrote: “#Countryfile on a Tuesday. It’s just not right.”
A third penned: “Dear #countryfile it is not Sunday and I am confused. Happy Christmas and New Year.”
A fourth tweeted: “It’s bad enough that today feels like a Sunday without putting #countryfile on.”
Countryfile airs weekly on BBC One and reports on rural, agricultural and environmental issues in the UK.
Tuesday’s episode of the much-loved BBC show saw presenter Margherita Taylor transport viewers to the Scottish Highlands.
She explored the roots and traditions surrounding Burns Night.
In the episode, Margherita visited Auchindrain which is a remarkably preserved example of a Scottish farm township.
She soon discovered how tough life was in the Highlands and that Christmas was once just a normal working day for villagers there.
Then she tried haggis for the first time while bagpipes were playing.
Meanwhile, Matt Baker helped select snowdrops for the festival and needed an organiser’s assistance to select the perfect flowers.
Countryfile is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
