The One Show and EastEnders ditched from BBC One in channel move

The BBC has moved two of its most popular shows in a channel change. It has confirmed that The One Show and EastEnders will air on a different channel.

It's down to coverage of Wimbledon, which is being aired on BBC One after the tennis tournament began on Monday. It means that The One Show and EastEnders will air on BBC Two on Tuesday, July 4, Wednesday, July 5, and Thursday, July 6.

They will stay in their normal time slots of 7pm and 7.30pm respectively. The One Show will also air on BBC Two on Friday, July 7 at 7pm. reports WalesOnline.

EastEnders and The One Show will continue to be aired on BBC Two on Monday, July 10, before returning to their normal BBC One slots on Tuesday, July 11. Wimbledon coverage will start on BBC One at 7pm and finish at 9pm when replacing the shows.

Recently EastEnders fans were left "bawling" after the funeral of much-loved character Lola Pearce-Brown. The character, who has appeared on the show since 2011, passed away last month after a long battle with brain cancer.

The funeral episode saw Albert Square residents come together to commemorate Lola’s life. Prior to her death, Lola insisted that she didn’t want anyone to be sad when they said goodbye to her and that people should wear something colourful.

During her funeral, Lola’s husband Jay (Jamie Borthwick), daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) and grandad Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) gave speeches to honour her. In a break from tradition EastEnders ended with the song Forever Young used in place of the show’s theme tune.
