Not a viewer of Eastenders but surely if the BBC know that a scheduled sport event could possibly over run then surely the easiest thing to do would be put Eastenders on BBC3 as that comes on air at 7pm. Do it for the duration of the World Cup (or whatever sport event is on) and no-one will be upset.
and the omnibus would have it too - but yes the beeb are rather stupid for scheduling it tonight - when there is no football tomorrow or thursday so could have scheduled it then - make the one show half an hour or something.

They already have the BBC 3 (HD) showing at 10.30 which is still there at the moment.
They'll likely drop Traffic Cops on Thursday night and do an hour long episode. Fill in the remaining half an hour with a random episode of Question of Sport
Ideally, the BBC could still show it on BBC 3 and to be honest, as they seem to think 'online is the future way to watch TV', they could still stick it up on iPlayer and re-show it on BBC One another day.
But they won't. It happens every single year when Wimbledon is on (last year their was no sports programming on BBC 2 and they still didn't shift it over). God knows why they don't but they seem to think re-scheduling it to a later date is the best solution for everyone.
They won't show it on BBC 3 tonight either, that will be replaced by a Family Guy repeat or something silly.
There won't be a BBC3 showing, it'll be changed, as someone said to something like a Family Guy repeat. You can't show the repeat as that means when it finally turns up on BBC1 it'll be a repeat.

Take a look out of the window. Life is continuing, isn't it?
Wimbledon is on BBC2
Wimbledon & sues already said it will be uninterrupted for the whole evening
Don't be so dramatic.

I forgot about Wimbledon

FFS show it afterwards instead
Or just cancel the footie and show it in its proper time.
Yes, that would be a later date.
yes, the bbc are going to cancel a world cup game they spent tonnes of money on, so eastenders can air
get realistic, its a minor inconvenience but the episode wont be lost or anything.
and argies just scored, so no penalties so if they hurry up, they could air it still.
put it on another channel ffs or later and drop some the other rubbish
