What happens

Wild Isles is a 2023 British television nature documentary series presented by Sir David Attenborough (not to be confused with the 92-minute video Wild Isles, a 2022 Webby Award honoree produced by Newyonder). The five-episode series covers the wildlife of the British Isles. Silverback Films was commissioned by the BBC to create the series, with co-production and part funding from the RSPB, World Wide Fund for Nature and Open University. It was filmed over three years in 145 locations across the British Isles. The Guardian reported ahead of the series' start that a sixth episode would not be broadcast due to a fear of backlash from Conservatives and right-wing media over its themes of destruction of nature. However, the BBC responded that Wild Isles was always planned as a 5-part series, and that the 'sixth episode' was a standalone feature called Saving Our Wild Isles to be released online. The series received positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
