The ongoing coronavirus crisis has now had a huge effect on the TV schedules.
Last night's Holby City was cancelled and EastEnders aired at a later time to make room for a special extended news broadcast about the outbreak, which aired at 6pm.
The news was confirmed in a tweet posted by the official Holby City Twitter account yesterday, reading: "News just in. We're postponing tonight's #HolbyCity episode due to an extended 6pm news bulletin. Sending hugs."
BBC News aired at its regular time slot of 6pm but ran for the slightly longer time of 45 minutes on Tuesday evening.
The regional news then followed from 6:45pm to 7:15pm.
Then The One Show ran for a slightly shorter time of 45 minutes until 8pm.
EastEnders then aired at the later time of 8pm, instead of its usual 7:30pm slot on a Tuesday.
Holby City normally airs at 8pm on Mondays.
Luckily the BBC has already confirmed that the medical drama will return to its usual slot next week.
EastEnders is also running to its usual schedule for the rest of the week.
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK rose to 1,950 yesterday, although the true figure could be 55,000.
71 people have died from the condition.
Globally, nearly 200,000 people have been infected with almost 8,000 killed.
