Fans of Waterloo Road were confused to see the show’s missing from the TV schedule.

Viewers at home would have felt dizzy looking at their TV schedules on Tuesday night to find Waterloo Road absent from the listing. Don’t worry you’re not going crazy, all can be attributed to a massive schedule shake up.

Over the last year, fans of soaps and TV dramas have had to get used to flagship shows on the BBC getting moved around with little warning. From Strictly Come Dancing to EastEnders, many shows were cancelled from their usual slot to accommodate the Qatar World Cup.

But with the World Cup and its frustrating schedule long behind us, why was Waterloo Road pulled from the TV listing last night and will it be back on BBC One this week?

What time is Waterloo Road on TV tonight?

Waterloo Road along with Silent Witness and East Enders were absent from BBC One on Tuesday but viewers will be pleased to know the show’s have been rescheduled for Wednesday January 18 in their normal slots.

Waterloo Road will be broadcast tonight (January 18) at 8pm on BBC One.
