There was much hooplah, and sabre rattling when the CBC had to preempt Doctor Who during this past season.  It’s a shame, and annoying but it happens.  And look…  now it’s happening in the UK.  The BBC will be pushing back Episode 7 one week for the airing of the Eurovision Song Contest.

One thing the BBC did do, which I appreciate, was to clearly and promptly announce what was happening. 

—-BBC NEWS CLIPPING——
After some severe spreadsheet shuffling in Scheduling (try saying that fast) it’s been decided that an early start for episode seven, Chris Chibnall’s 42, wasn’t a good idea.

The episode will now be shown a week later, on Saturday 19 May.

***spoilers snipped***

Please don’t email the website about this, as we want 42 to be on as much as you do. There is, however, a Feedback page on the BBC website if you feel the need to comment. Follow the link below to learn more.

Meanwhile, we’re exploring other options to keep you amused on the 12th if Eurovision really isn’t your thing.
