BBC schedules in Easter shake-up as big shows cancelled or moved to make way for blockbuster movie

THE BBC's schedule has received an Easter shake-up, with some big shows cancelled or moved to make way for some blockbuster movies.

Good Friday will see Beyond Paradise pushed back an hour from its usual 8pm slot on BBC One to make way for the recent Ghostbusters reboots.

The Death In Paradise spin-off will be sandwiched between the franchise's 2016 installment and its 2021 sequel, Ghostbusters Afterlife, which will air from 7:05pm and 10:30pm, respectively.

Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World will have to schedule their recordings as tomorrow's semi-final will be shown at 12:20am instead of its usual time of 11:35pm.

Would I Lie To You? and Not Going Out have been removed from the guide completely, with The Graham Norton Show's latest series concluding last week in any case.

La La Land will simutaneously show on BBC Two, competing with Die Hard with a Vengeance on ITV1.

It's not the only schedule shake-up happening at the Beeb, though.

The broadcaster recently confirmed a date for the new series of The Repair Shop and Race Across The World.

In a huge telly night, both shows will kick off back-to-back on BBC One.

Beeb chiefs have scheduled The Repair Shop's new series to begin at 8pm on Wednesday, April 10.

Jay Blades and the rest of the team such as Steve Fletcher and Louise Drover will be back in the barn ready to restore precious items from members of the public.

Meanwhile, Race Across The World's highly anticipated fourth series will kick off directly afterwards at 9pm.
