BBC Countryfile fans have been left fuming over the content of a special episode of the show which aired on Sunday evening. 

Viewers were quick to criticise the Archaeology at Hinton Ampner episode of the popular series, slating it for a lack of farming content. 

The latest instalment of the long-running show 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.
