Sir David Attenborough’s Wild Isles has no sixth episode, the BBC has said tonight (Friday). It comes after reports that suggested that the corporation had pulled a final episode in the series due to possible controversy.
Wild Isles is set to begin on BBC One on Sunday with a listed run of five episodes. Narrated by the veteran broadcaster, the programme showcases the natural wonders of the UK and Ireland.
It has been funded by nature charities WWF and the RSPB with support from the Open University, and has been produced by Silverback Films – the team behind many of the BBC’s landmark nature shows. A further instalment, called Save Our Wild Isles, is to be broadcast on iPlayer at a future date.
