The recent episode of Countryfile has caused quite a stir among viewers, with many taking to social media to express their frustration. The show, which is known for its coverage of rural and environmental issues, featured a segment on fly fishing in Dorset. Host Joe Crowley introduced the location, highlighting the popularity of fishing in the UK and its unique opportunities for anglers.
Throughout the episode, Joe met with a local fly fisherman to try and catch a mullet. However, it seems that this focus on fishing did not sit well with some viewers, who took to Twitter to voice their disappointment. One user even went as far as to call the episode "boring" and "elitist", criticizing the show for only featuring fly fishing and not giving attention to other forms of fishing that are more popular among the masses.
This is not the first time that Joe has faced criticism for his work on Countryfile. In a 2022 interview, he admitted to struggling for work in the past and acknowledged that as a presenter, he has to constantly adapt and make his own luck in the industry. He also expressed his fears of being replaced by younger presenters, stating that it is important for new talents to be given opportunities.
Despite the backlash, Countryfile continues to air new episodes every Sunday on BBC One and iPlayer. And while not every segment may be to everyone's liking, the show remains a well-respected and popular source of information on rural and environmental topics. So if you have a story or any interesting content related to these issues, don't hesitate to reach out to the show's entertainment team – they would love to hear from you!
