After the events of the past day or so, you actually believe that?
I don't do conspiracy theories but I do still have that bridge.

Of course they would but that is not the issue, except as another stick for people to beat the BBC based on their own political biases.
All of a sudden people are experts at programme scheduling choices.
I am not defending Saint Fiona Bruce btw as she is just a smug, self-satisfied ar*ehole trying too hard not to be seen to offend, and her comments were probably her own tone-deaf way of appearing even-handed.

When I first read about the 6th episode in the Graun I was outraged. However, there seems now to be a reasonable explanation where it's a 5 part series with the final programme presumably on Easter Sunday. After Easter we'll move on to a 'Spring/Summer' regime.
It now seems that the additional programme was differently funded and commissioned. In that context it feels similar to the 'extra content' you'd get if you bought the series on DVD. In that context it being made available only on I-Player seems OK.
Obviously, if somebody can produce a 'smoking memo' around a change in plan, then it won't look like it does now.

It's like the extra 'making of' behind the scenes bits we get in other BBC nature docs. My assumption has always been that it's there to make a 45min programme up to an hour, using time that would otherwise be used to show adverts when they sell it to the US. They're cool to watch but they're not the main event.

I misread that, only to be disappointed with the final paragraph.

I would add that conspiracy theories are like ar*eholes...everyone has them but very few bear close examination.

Maybe, but why make six and only show five straight to air? And why was that one chosen from the others for a different medium?

They commissioned and made five. The 'sixth' is a different thing.

It can be shown on mainstream TV, but, it will not be, that is not the same as cannot.
Excellent advertising/publicy for the series I would have thought, and, all free.

If I haven't told you what jobs I have done, how can I be a fantasist? And why would you ask if you then say you wouldn't believe me anyway?
You're looking a bit sad now chap.
It's like jowwy has been to night school for 3 months and returned with a dictionary and a thesaurus.
