Eastenders time changes for Live Week

[alan45]

EastEnders' live week will now start from Tuesday, February 17, it has been revealed.

The live episodes of the BBC soap were originally expected to air from the Monday. The schedule change is thought to be the result of the BBC's FA Cup football coverage.

The serial will broadcast a 30-minute live episode and a Lucy Beale flashback episode during the week.

The other instalments airing that week will also include live elements.

Meanwhile, EastEnders' 30th anniversary will be marked with two special broadcasts on Radio 2 next month.

Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins has also promised that "there will be justice" at the end of the Linda Carter and Dean Wicks rape storyline.
