Frozen Planet II - Missing episode 3

I have a BBC1 series recording setup for Frozen Planet II. I have episodes 1 & 2 (last one was Saturday 27 January).
However the next schedule showing is for episode 4 on Sun 04 Feb @14:45. Episode 3 appears to have gone AWOL!
Anyone any idea if episode 3 (Frozen Peaks) got transmitted or cancelled/overrun?
 
Here are all the events for this year:

Nothing untoward there. So either broadcaster screw-up or deliberate decision.
There's a different programme in that slot in Wales, so can't even cross-check there.
(The 4E entries are the now/next table, the rest are the schedule table.)

No idea why it wasn't shown. It is available On Demand from the BBC iPlayer.
You can also download it to your computer from the BBC iPlayer website
and play it on your TV via your computer and HDMI cable using the BBC iPlayer Downloads app.

...or, considering the OP has HDR-FOX+CF, qtube.

I've already thought of that and was trying to use iPlayer to see if the broadcast had occurred, but it shows as a repeat and does not say when the last broadcast was.
If I use qtube, is it possible to have the download converted to native humax format on the Humax box itself?
Else on the computer, either way. are only certain formats supported?
I'm looking for 1920x1080.
<edit>
My previous recordings show up as 1080p resolution using the i button on the remote, however querying YouTube with -F on E3 URL shows may resolution as 1280x720.
Am I missing something here? I've not used youtube (Qtube) for a long while.
The URL I'm using is here: Frozen Planet II. S1E3. Frozen Peaks

I assume these dates, as can be seen on iPlayer were when first broadcast, as episode 2 was last broadcast on 27-01-2024 on Freeview.

What I quoted from you concerned episode 3.

The dates are from the link. The link is also to episode 3.

If you still want the 1080 version, record it off bbc1 on 11 Feb. at 16.30

Thank you for that, very helpful, I'll watch out for that*.

*I've Custom Firmware and have a Watchlist setup under TV Diary add-on package that I run every few days for things I'm on the look out for. Naturally it can only go 7 days ahead once the EPG is updated.

Still surprised iPlayer doesn't have the 1920x1080 version.
