The dismissal and even defence of the BBC’s polar deceit is an emblem of a culture that no longer understands the distinction between fact and fakery. I think that for those who have understood the significance of this deception for both the BBC and for Britain, their hearts are simply broken.
I was one of those who marvelled at the footage and was taken in by it, believing it to be in the 'wild'. I am horrified by the attempts to dismiss the negative reaction and by the complete lack of conviction by so many against trickery and deceit.
I will never look at another Attenborough program in the same way again.
