Schedule Change Pits Doctor Who against Britain's Got Talent Final
Wednesday, 31 May 2017 - Reported by Marcus
Doctor Who will go head to head with the final of the ITV Talent show Britain's Got Talent this Saturday in a change to published schedules. The final of the talent show has been moved from Sunday to prevent it clashing with One Love Manchester, a tribute concert to benefit those affected by the recent Manchester bomb attack, which will be shown on BBC One from 6.55pm on Sunday evening.
A statement from ITV says
Ariana Grande’s ‘One Love Manchester’ benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together and will raise funds for the Red Cross’s Manchester Emergency Fund. “ITV and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain’s Got Talent Final from Sunday night.”
The change means that Doctor Who - The Lie Of The Land, starting at 7.35pm on BBC One will be directly against the final of the talent show, currently set to begin at 7.30pm, rather than the dating show Take Me Out.
