Fri 6th Feb - No EE
Schedules have Six Nations on the Friday slot, it's early schedules but there's only 3 eps that week right now
Some gaps not filled in could easily have a EE episode in
Weekend of 14th Feb is FA Cup so Friday 13th or Mon 16th could easily see no episode then. 6 Nation goes on for 5 weekends so expect changes until March

This is starting to get pretty irritating. There's numerous sports channels, but instead they push around the schedules to fit it in on BBC 1?
I really don't have a problem with sport disrupting EastEnders, as long as the displaced episodes are scheduled properly and we don't lose out on any episodes (which so far we haven't done) then it's fine by me. The BBC have to cater for all audiences, and airing sport like football and rugby helps bring in viewers that might not already watch the channel regularly.
FA Cup games can be on Friday or Monday nights on BBC One as with a couple of weeks ago (Monday) and this coming week (Friday).
Numerous sports channels is correct but the BBC has two channels these events could go on and they rate very well so it's understandable.
EDIT: There will be a change in March for Comic Relief of course, which no one complains about ;-)
Digiguide doesn't have that listed, do you know where it says that?
Sky EPG and TV times. This coming Thursday.
The BBC won the rights to air the FA Cup over Sky Sports, BT Sport etc, that's why the matches can't air on those channels and only on BBC channels.
It is only this year though that FA cup games have started to be played on a friday and a monday. first weekend was over five days rather than the traditional 2 days.
same for 6 nations that used to be split over sat/sunday weekends.
It is fully appalling the beeb doing this not from a soap fan point of view but a sport watcher point of view. It makes it difficult to attend games on a friday night if you have to travel etc
exactly!after the fifth. round draw they chose to show the united v cambridge game on the friday night. makes no sense they could of shown have chosen lunchtime/teatime kick off on the sat/sun if the wanted to show it
no they deffo don't I have been to monday night premier league games before and they have been boring as hell with some players not even arsed enough to run after the ball.
They cannot do that!
There are and there's meant to be live elements in each one!
That's what happens if you slop about in your pyjamas/lounge gear, not doing much, all weekend!
When Sharon returned the BBC gave us 7 episodes in 1 week with two episodes missed beforehand
The BBC would have had an idea when Football matches/Rugby will air so would have informed the team at EastEnders and not commissioned an episode for such and such day. We won't lose an episode anyway so chances are they will just make up the time with Extra episodes during 30th week. Again that would have been planned ages ago.
