Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people following inaccurate press reports that a βsixth episodeβ of Wild Isles was being shown on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer and not ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One. Β Β
Our response
Wild Isles is, and has always been, a five-part series, as can be seen from the announcement last August:
.
The series, co-produced with the RSPB and WWF, does not shy away from environmental concerns which are addressed throughout the five episodes. There is no sixth episode.
In addition to the Wild Isles series, the RSPB and WWF, in conjunction with the National Trust, commissioned their own documentary called βSaving Our Wild Islesβ, inspired by Wild Isles.Β It is about people working to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the British Isles.Β It is a standalone film and isnβt part of the Wild Isles series, and it was not commissioned or paid for by the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ.Β We are however acquiring the documentary and are planning to show it on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer.
The RSPB, WWF, the Open University, the National Trust and Silverback Films have all publicly put out messages confirming this.
