The BBC has denied claims it won't broadcast a new David Attenborough episode amid fears of a backlash from Tory politicians and right-wing press.
Reports had previously suggested the new series on British wildlife will not be shown to the public as the broadcaster is concerned the themes of destruction of nature would risk a backlash. The highly anticipated series will focus on the Wild Isles, showing the beauty of nature in the British Isles.
Narrated by David Attenborough, the series will include five episodes and will be first broadcast on Sunday on BBC One. Senior sources at the BBC told the Guardian that a decision was made not to release a sixth episode, which they claimed had already been filmed.
