But why only on Iplayer? Why not on the TV proper?

Why not?
Other stuff that they think may not have popular appeal goes on IPlayer or the smaller channels. The use of digital channel is increasing as viewing habits and audiences change.

It's not a six part series, it's a five part series with a bonus.
Let's not overreact to news just because it may fit our narrative. We would lose credibility when criticising others for the same.

And you believe that?
If you do, I have a bridge I wish to sell you.
Remember, this is a company that has suspended Gary Lineker for an innocent tweet and allows Fiona Bruce to play down domestic abuse.

We've so far got two conflicting sides to the story. But one is from the BBC, our trusted national broadcaster. Let's not jump to conclusions.

Do we believe the WWF, who coproduced the bloody thing as a separate entity to the five part series?

I would believe the WWF right away as, at least, they know what's going on and there would be no over-exaggeration purely for the headlines.
Yes, I would believe them as they use facts to put forward their arguments, and why would it be exclusive to Iplayer and not on the main BBC channel? Isn't this a major issue that should concern us all?

I don't know, maybe it costs a bit more. Maybe it's not up to broadcast standards. Maybe they weren't offered it for broadcast. The point is that it's been brought up this week deliberately to feed into the culture war bollocks when the evidence is that it was never intended for broadcast and the decision was made some time ago.

Oh come on. Really!?
They would've known about this sixth part when they were planning the other 5.

It's not a sixth part. It's a different thing.

It doesn't answer the question why it cannot be shown on mainstream TV considering that this is a major issue concerning us all.

A question that needs an answer.

No. No it doesn't. This is how conspiracy theories work. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the situation but the topic is being dragged sideways to fit an agenda. You can't satisfy a conspiracy theorist because there will always be another layer. Conspiracy theories are like ogres.
BBC commissions a series. Some of the producers decide they have the resources to make a little extra. They offer it to the BBC commissioners who say 'nice one, that'll be a good addition, we'll pop it on iPlayer'. That's the simplest explanation.
