I believe EE will be on BBC Two for the duration of the Olympics.
Thanks!

Can't believe they've not got Trainspotting Live on BBC1 tonight instead of Eastenders.


We may have outside the door of Number 10 watching the Removal Vans live on Wednesday though

With the Olympics taking place from August 5/21st I presume casualty will be off for 3 weeks then so I guess we got a series finale coming up then ?

Football is one thing - I wouldn't have wanted to miss seing Iceland sort out England. But the Olympics is a step too far. The opening ceremony perhaps, but after that...

What do you mean It's a step too far?

As far as I know, Casualty's current series has 43 episodes so will finish on July 23rd. The show will then return after a short break on August 27th with the special anniversary episode.

Biggest sporting event on the planet is one reason why we are having live coverage for 2 weeks for about £1 27 per week

As in what episode in the series?

My TV magazine (What's on TV) has stated this Saturday will be episode 42 out of 43, plus my EPG on my freeview TV tells me what episode number it is.

I know, from BBC and Digital Spy, the anniversary episode on August 27th is the start of the new series.

For week commencing 23rd July:

- No Casualty - makes way for a live episode of Mrs Brown's Boys which I'm looking forward to

- Emmerdale is on for an hour on Tuesday

No other changes.

Breaking News - the early schedules for the first week of the Olympics are out and it looks as if EastEnders will be left where it is on BBC One as the info says coverage continues on BBC Two at the normal EE times

Surprising decision but wouldn't surprise me if there were a few last minute moves of EE to BBC Two if there's a big GB story unfolding at that time.

The Olympics is massive and for many of us unmissable. For anyone not around here for the last Olympics the Olympics forum on here was a great place to be.

For Holby City fans, there are two episodes next week on Tuesday and Thursday both at 8pm on BBC1.

This is probably to do with the Olympics in Rio taking over BBC1's schedule the following week.

Olympics should be given preference over the fortnight or so it is on.

Imagine the Tuesday schedule
6pm News
7:00 Olympics 2016
7:30 EastEnders
8:00 Olympics 2016

Might as well move EastEnders to BBC2 or cancel it until after the competition has finished.

Exactly, why break up the coverage like that, It would've just made sense to move EE to BBC2 at normal times.

Why should Eastenders be cancelled for the Olympics?

It would be easier if the chief executive officers of the drug manufacturers who supply the athletes competed in the games to prove who made the best. It would save a lot of time and money and finally dispel the myth who were the master producers in the business..

The Olympics will get more viewers and is considered a national (or international event), whereas EastEnders is just another TV show.

I watch both Holby City and Casualty, and am not bothered if they are not going to be shown while BBC has the Olympics coverage.

Why do some people think it is the end of the world if their favourite soap is cancelled?

Where did I say it was the end of the world?

I have no issue with soaps being reschedule or moved at all during sporting events but i dont swe why one soap should be cancelled and not any others.

As a matter of fact I'm big into sports so I love the tournaments when they're on.

They have found a way to show all events so it's all good

All 5 of the BBC soaps have been affected. The Olympics is a big event - why has EastEnders been given preference (kept in the same slot and channel) with the others cancelled. The Olympics run from this Friday August 5th (from 8:30pm) to Sunday 21st August.

The other soaps:

Red Rock is on BBC 2 from August 8th (during the Olympics) at 1:45pm
Doctors returns on August 30th on BBC1
Casualty returns on August 27th on BBC1 with an 110 minute episode
Holby City airs on Tuesday August 2nd, Thursday August 4th, Tuesday 23rd August, Thursday 25th August and Tuesday 30th August during the next month.

EastEnders meanwhile stays at its same time slot on BBC1 - why cancel/move the other soaps and not EE. That is favouritism from the BBC.

I thought Red Rock (BBC showing season 1 from 2015 I guess 40 episodes) was a summer day time filler, in place of Doctors.
Although if Doctors is back 30th, suggests a week crossover.
