Another way to describe this is "lame click bait journalism" by a once great (if biased) news outlet.
Crying shame that post-truth is the norm for major news outlets. UK is becoming the US.

This featured doctors (and medical staff) being directly linked to Syrian opposition groups[1] (with their voices being dubbed[2], originals still on BBC), actors unintentionally exposing themselves[3], Syrian opposition fighters claiming the attack never took place[4] and when all of this was reported to the BBC they decided to simply memory hole the event and take down the documentary from YouTube, as well as some effort in taking down YouTube videos uploaded by others that feature some of the content.
It's worth comparing the footage from the documentary to a historical napalm victim footage[5] from Egypt which shows the severity of napalm attacks in comparison to what we see in the documentary.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm far from being supportive of the Syrian government or unaware of their shocking actions during the conflict, but this entire production was a theatrical construction by the BBC.
