Why isn’t Casualty on tonight?

The BBC medical drama has been bumped from the schedules tonight for a major reason.

While usually the schedules are messed around by football or the Olympics – tonight is a very different reason.

As well as the first live episode of the new series of Strictly, the BBC is broadcast live coverage of a major music concert.

The biggest names in music will take to various stages across the world for one continuous charity fundraiser in the hopes of restarting the world after the pandemic.

Coverage of the concert will be broadcast at 5.30pm, 9.20pm and midnight on BBC One.
