So after digesting this, I think :
BBC One needs to find 10 minutes for a news bulletin around 6pm.
Frozen needs an extra 10 minutes.
Eastenders is too late.
I think they have to ditch something of at least 1hr for something that is 30 minutes (probably an animation). They would probably have to ditch Bake Off. Can't see Strictly or Midwife making way for it.
I don't feel like Eastenders is worthy of the prime slot, especially when there is no Downton to try and sink but that's another discussion.
For ITV, everything feels too early and there is probably a programme missing from the schedule (after Lion King ?). Maigret shouldn't really need to start pre 9pm.
