Wild Isles is a 2023 British television nature documentary series presented by Sir David Attenborough[1] (not to be confused with the 92-minute video Wild Isles, a 2022 Webby Award honoree produced by Newyonder[2]). 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.[3][4] It was filmed over three years in 145 locations across the British Isles.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5]
The series received positive reviews from critics.[6][7][8]
