Heatwave Special
Adam Henson and John Craven meet those affected by the recent heatwave, including farmers, firefighters, scientists, wildlife champions and winemakers.
As the heat bakes the British countryside into crisis, Adam Henson and John Craven meet those on the front line. They include the farmer who is double sewing and trying a new crop; the wildlife champions battling to save chalk streams - some of the most vital but fragile habitats in the world; and the firefighters and scientists contending with the wildfires ravaging swathes of our landscape.
John also meets the winemakers who, thanks to the scorching summer, could have a vintage harvest, and finds out how the heatwave has revealed some hidden historic secrets. Lastly, he teams up with Wildlife Trust ambassador and much-loved actress Alison Steadman and wildlife film-maker Hamza Yassin to decide which photographs will grace 2023's Countryfile calendar for Children in Need.
