Countryfile has yet again been hit with fan backlash from viewers who claim the programme doesn't have enough farming and agricultural content - and they're not happy with Sunday night's 'disappointing' installment.
The popular BBC documentary series has previously faced complaints from fans for a number of recent episodes for the same reason.
One episode which aired in April featured a segment on people in the countryside having limited access to NHS dentists, which lots of viewers felt wasn't 'suitable' for the show that usually focuses on farming and wildlife.
And Sunday's show has reignited the debate, as the episode saw Joe Crowley head to The Three Rivers Race, a sailing competition that takes place each year on the Norfolk broads.
The presenter followed the race's participants from the moments they were getting ready at the Horning Sailing Club before it began, to sailing across the Broads and battling against the tide, currents, and weather.

However, fans of the show were not impressed with the subject matter of the episode and took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disappointment with the programme:
'What is happening to Countryfile? Yet again featuring a subject that has nothing to do with farming and agricultural issues.
'I also don't get why archive clips are needed with so many presenters to use #countryfile.'
'#Countryfile should be shown monthly, as subject matter of interest is very scarce these days.'
'I'm glad they're just showing 'highlights' and not the whole race #countryfile.'
'Swallows and Amazons is more interesting #countryfile.'
'#countryfile Disappointed with this week's not much Countryside this week.'
'About as thrilling as England's last 2 matches #countryfile.'

'Probably good fun to participate. Not so sure to watch #countryfile.'
'#countryfile What an event. I need a defibrillator.'
But, one viewer who was slightly impressed, wrote: 'As bits about sailing under low bridges goes, that was good #CountryFile.'
The Three Rivers Race is Europe's toughest inland sailing competition, which sees more than 100 competitors battle it out by navigating 50 miles of the Bure, Ant, and Thurne rivers within a 24-hour time period.
Sunday's episode of the show also features clips from the Countryfile archives about the history and nature of the area, including interviews with those who live and work on the Broads.
Previous complaints from fans include when the BBC series aired an episode that featured a segment on archaeology back in March.
The segment saw presenter Anita Rani scavenging fields to uncover ancient relics and work alongside experts to measure electrical current in the ground - which is called resistivity.
John Craven also played a prominent part in the episode, as he investigate a prehistoric settlement given the moniker of 'Britain's Pompeii'.
Located at Must Farm, the site was perfectly preserved by a Bronze Age fire and John was offered the chance to handle a pot from the site.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, a number of users expressed their dismay at the topic of the special episode, commenting: 'I love Countryfile, except tonight it was boring boring...scraping the barrel it would seem'.
'The entire programme is rubbish now. Tonight had sod all to do with farming etc. I love an archaeology programme, but not on Countryfile. The BBC have ruined it, along with many other ones.'
