But eagle-eyed viewers picked up on weatherman Chris Fawkes being on presenting duty.

Fans were convinced Beeb bosses had purposely planned for Chris to be on screen as it was Guy Fawkes night.

While Chris fronted the weather as normal, viewers took to social media to comment on the subtle nod to mark the day from show bosses.

One said: "The weatherman on #Countryfile @BBCCountryfile tonight is Chris Fawkes…on Bonfire Night. As far as I can tell, no one’s referenced his notorious/combustible possible ancestor."
