This week’s episodes of EastEnders will not be airing on BBC One as they usually do. Instead, EastEnders will be playing on BBC Two tonight (July 3), and for the rest of this week.
But why is EastEnders not on BBC One tonight? And what can viewers expect to happen during tonight’s episode?
Why is EastEnders on BBC Two tonight?
EastEnders usually airs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One. However, starting from tonight it will air on BBC Two.
It will continue to air on BBC Two for the rest of the week, at 7:30pm. The episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from 6am every day.
This is due to the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage airing from 7pm – 9pm on BBC One. Coverage begins at 1:45pm until 6pm, then resumes from 7pm – 9pm, taking the usual slots of EastEnders and The One Show.
With Wimbledon set to continue until Sunday July 16, it is likely that EastEnders will resume on BBC One from Monday, July 17.
