BBC schedule shake up as string of hit shows taken off air this week
A SCHEDULE shake up on BBC2 this week will see a string of hit shows taken off air.
A number of viewers' favourite programmes have been cancelled.
It's to make way for the coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show which airs every night at 8pm.
That means Only Connect, Digging for Britain and Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing will all be off air.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the pinnacle of the gardening calendar, from Sunday, May 18 through to May 25.
It is hailed as a celebration of horticultural excellence, sustainability, and creative garden design.
