It’s the standard filler when they have 10 minutes to play with on BBC Two is it not?

Yes, but you'd still expect someone to sit back and think if showing something presented by someone who's become known for extreme right wing politics and conspiracy theories is appropriate right now. There's bound to be other 10 minute fillers available.

Wouldn't be suprised it's been put on to subtly say "this show is still the standard BBC filler despite the presenter's politics, it shows up the hypocrisy in suspending Gary".

I can’t believe that the choice of any substitute programme right now isn’t being signed off and carefully vetted by several levels of senior management given the close scrutiny the BBC is under at the moment. 

Unless, as you say, there’s a serious internal mutiny underway to embarrass the DG further.
