Why isn't Pointless on BBC1 tonight and when can I watch it?

The death of Queen Elizabeth II has meant that many British TV channels have changed their scheduling plans. Coverage of the Queen's death and documentaries about her and the Royal family are currently dominating the TV guide.

This has meant that BBC One game show Pointless has had a scheduling change. The show is normally aired on BBC One and on Monday, September 12 the show will switch channels.

Pointless will be aired on BBC Two at 5.15pm. Other shows moved to BBC Two from BBC One on Monday, September 12 include Antiques Road Trip, which will air at 4.30pm, The Bidding Room, which will air at 3.45pm, and Escape to the Country, which will air at 3pm.

Airing on BBC One instead of Pointless is Scotland: A Service for HM The Queen where Welsh presenter Huw Edwards will present live coverage of the coffin procession from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral for a Service of Reflection and Thanksgiving for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Huw Edwards was widely praised and recognised for his outstanding coverage of the Queen's death when he had to break the news to the nation that Queen Elizabeth II had died. It is unconfirmed when Pointless will move back to BBC One as the BBC is updating its schedule regularly.

On Friday, September 9, a day after the Queen died, Channel 4 made the decision to continue airing the new series of Gogglebox. Channel 4 has also confirmed that the well-loved series The Great British Bake Off will also return to screens amidst the scheduling changes. The Great British Bake Off will begin on Tuesday, September 13 at 8pm on Channel 4.

Popular soaps EastEnders, Coronation Street, and Emmerdale will also return, after being missing from the TV schedules, on Monday, September 12.
