The show is currently being shown on streaming service BritBox and stars Adam Henson, John Craven, and Ellie Harrison.

Adam Henson, a farmer and presenter on Countryfile, is the go-to expert on livestock and agriculture on the show. He has been on the show since 2001 and has become a fan favorite due to his enthusiasm and infectious energy. He takes viewers on a journey around the country, showcasing different farms and their animals. Henson has a deep love for animals, and he's committed to breeding quality livestock on his farm.
