Background noise distraction
During Sunday's episode of Countryfile, viewers were left scratching their heads as weather presenter Stav Danaos shared the forecast for the week ahead. The broadcast was marred by a mysterious background noise, with a second voice faintly audible while Stav spoke, leaving many perplexed.
Viewer reactions on X
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their confusion over the unusual addition to the broadcast. Some viewers found it difficult to concentrate on the weather due to the distracting background noise, speculating about its origin and joking about a Deliveroo driver being on the same frequency as Stav's microphone.
Recent criticisms of Countryfile episodes
This is not the first time recent episodes of Countryfile have faced criticism from long-time fans. A few weeks earlier, an episode celebrating the 60th anniversary of the National Nature Reserve at Lindisfarne and exploring dairy-goat milk production left some viewers unimpressed, with complaints of the show being boring, pedestrian, and lacking engagement.
Countryfile airs weekly on BBC One and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, with Stav Danaos as a familiar face presenting the weather.
