Silent Witness, Waterloo Road and EastEnders fans have been left disappointed after it was revealed that all three programmes have been removed, as a one-off, from the BBC's schedule. Typically airing back to back from 7:30pm onwards, tonight all three shows have been pulled in place of Match of the Day Live: The FA Cup.
Set to kick off at 7:30pm – when EastEnders typically starts – the upcoming football game will see Wolverhampton Wanderers competing against Liverpool. The sports event is scheduled to finish at 10:00pm.

However, if you're willing to wait it out, then Wednesday evening will include the follow-up episodes to both Waterloo Road and Silent Witness.
As a result of the BBC's schedule shake-up, fans will also be able to resume EastEnders from tomorrow, as it will return to our screens at the usual time of 7:30pm. The official synopsis for the episode reads:
