BBC 'decide not to broadcast David Attenborough episode amid Tory backlash fears'
The BBC have reportedly decided not to broadcast a new episode of David Attenborough amid fears of a backlash from Tory politicians and right-wing press.
Narrated by David Attenborough, the series will include five episodes and will be first broadcast on Sunday on BBC One. The sixth episode, which has been filmed, is understood to take a look at the losses of nature in the UK. This episode, which received funding from WWF and RSPB, will not be broadcast on TV like the others but instead be available on BBC iPlayer. All six episodes were narrated by Attenborough, and made by production company Silverback Films.
The Mirror has approached the BBC for comment. The news comes just days after Garry Lineker made comments on the Government's controversial asylum policy.
