The BBC has been criticised for "deceiving" its Frozen Planet audience. the documentary has lead its viewers to believe that its film of a female polar bear with her cubs, just after giving birth in there den, was filmed in the Arctic snows, when in fact it was filmed in a zoo in Amsterdam. For me this is an acceptable "deception" as the scene was included for illustration purposes. Why disturb a polar bear and her family in the wild? Provided all of the factual information is correct for me it is not a problem. I am sure that all wild life documentaries are to a certain extent stage managed, they have to be for continuity purposes.
Viewers of television programmes should beware though, as all programmes are to a certain extent stage managed even science programmes and the news.
There really is no such thing as "reality" television: it has been faked and the audience is being duped. You are better off not watching such rubbish.
