ITV's Emmerdale set for 90 minute special television slot

Emmerdale will receive three back-to-back episodes tomorrow night to make up for scheduling conflicts.

ITV has rearranged its television lineup in favour of rolling coverage of the Queen's death. Since Thursday, shows including The Chase, Coronation Street and Loose Women have been pulled from the air in line with the period of national mourning.

The broadcaster has been giving daily updates on the state of the channel and just recently announced a major change to one of their paramount programmes. Soap-opera Emmerdale has been met with continuous delays and reschedulings but fans are in for an extended treat tomorrow evening.
