EastEnders wasn’t on BBC One last night (Thursday, June 12) amid coverage of the Air India plane crash tragedy which occurred yesterday. To accommodate reporting on the disaster, the soap was moved to BBC Two, with a BBC News Special airing in its place.
EastEnders doesn’t normally air on a Friday at all – but with the soap already airing a day behind due to a football match earlier this week, the schedule is already in a state of upheaval.
But is EastEnders still airing on BBC One tonight?
