COUNTRYFILE viewers were left raging at an "ultra woke" Just Stop Oil report on the show – as they boycott the programme.
As the BBC show made a return to screens it faced a backlash from viewers on Sunday night.
The episode, saw host Ellie, visit a community warm space in the Ogwen Valley where locals were reducing their fuel bills through communal dining and shared transport.
Rural households are more vulnerable to the current energy crisis and fuel poverty due to lower wages, poorly insulated buildings and a heavy reliance on cars.
The episode saw how some communities were finding ways to take power into their own hands – literally.
But viewers at home were not happy and slammed the BBC for airing an "ultra woke" just stop oil report, with some saying "that's the last time I'll be watching."

Just Stop Oil is an environmental activist group in the UK. The group fights for the British government to commit to stopping new fossil fuel licensing and production.
Those at home watching took to Twitter to share their frustrations about the episode.
One viewer wrote: "#countryfile giving airtime to Just Stop Oil. #countryfile a propaganda programme."
Another viewer raged: "#countryfile that was the last time watching, it’s suppose to be about the country and not more s*** about stop oil and the freaks who spout it."

A third angry viewer penned: "Why are the BBC #countryfile giving time to the Just Stop Oil nutters?"
A fourth fumed: "Why the hell is the BBC giving airtime to the eco-terrorists from Just Stop Oil? #Countryfile are giving them the publicity they crave, rather than treating them as the cranks they are."
A fifth echoed: "More nonsense from the ultra woke BBC.. Giving air time to JSO crank and how a small village gets by on renewable energy… now try that for a city of 1 million people."
Meanwhile, later in the episode, Tom Heap investigated whether the UK is bankrolling climate change.
