Sir David Attenborough is to front a five-part series which aims to underscore the challenges affecting nature within the British Isles and alert audiences to the species vanishing on their doorstep. The show's producers said Sir David had agreed to narrate Wild Isles from the start and was later approached about presenting it, because of his rare perspective on how the British countryside has changed during his lifetime of almost a century. Series producer, Alistair Fothergill, who has worked with David Attenborough for 35 years, wanted to call attention to internationally important wildlife and habitats on our own islands, from seabirds to chalk streams. "We are globally important for nature - and I don't think many people in Britain appreciate that," he said. "It was very important to us to say, this [nature] is really precious, but at the same time it's fragile." Wild Isles is broadcast on BBC One on Sundays starting next Sunday at 7 pm. At the end of the series, a companion programme will be aired on iPlayer, Saving Our Wild Isles, to focus on the people working on the ground to save nature and expand access. New David Attenborough series about UK and Ireland likely to be his last on location

The BBC has pulled the final episode which is the one on iplayer (this is why it is only on iplayer).
It is said by The Guardian that the BBC is worried about right wing MPs complaining about the episode.
The episode looks at the harm intensive farming and farming/hunting is doing and compares this to farming that is more compatible. It looks at disappearing nature and wildlife.
I recall Attenborough saying previously that the BBC has never really wanted him to do a programme about the British Isles. I suppose it's OK to talk about Brazilian rain forest depletion but not hazardous chemicals on our fields.
