He first hit TV screens in his psychedelic shirts and jumpers presenting a children's talk show called Search, in which enthusiastic youngsters aired their views. Then followed John Craven's Newsround, the world's first news bulletin for children, though millions of adults watched as well.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1989, Jon made the move away from children's TV and began to present Countryfile, tackling rural and farming stories from foot-and-mouth disease to the ban on fox hunting. Still reporting from the countryside after 50 years in television, John has been awarded an OBE for services to rural and children's broadcasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.05 x 9.92 x 7.71 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763604914464,"sku":"9780008529338","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/15402fd474c322aa0bd8c56f10f86506.webp?v=1780236668","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/countryfile-the-year-in-the-countryside-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
