The Guardian claimed that the BBC suppressed a sixth episode of David Attenborough’s new documentary series, Wild Isles, over fears of a right-wing backlash.
The BBC has said that the report is 'totally inaccurate' But there is no secret sixth episode - a complementary film that was made for the RSPB, the WWF and the National Trust.
