Return to Paradise has been pulled from the BBC schedule tonight, with the annual Children in Need fundraiser taking over its usual 8pm slot. The Death in Paradise spin-off will return on Friday, 20 November, at 8pm.
Scheduling Change for Charity Broadcast
The charity broadcast runs from 7pm until 10pm, replacing the drama for one evening. The change comes just a week after series three launched with two episodes.
Viewers can expect the next instalment to feature a puzzling case for Mack and Glenn, as a cinema screening ends in murder.
Third Episode Plot Details
The third episode centres on an anniversary showing of Dolphin Cove cult horror film Blood Wave. One of the film's key creatives is killed during its iconic gunshot sequence, leaving investigators to work out how someone fired a weapon in a packed cinema without the audience noticing.
For tonight, the murder mysteries make way for a live show hosted by Mel Giedroyc, Sara Cox, Alex Jones, Rylan and Tyler West from MediaCityUK in Salford.
Children in Need Highlights
Children in Need promises celebrity appearances, performances, exclusive sketches and surprises, alongside Pudsey Bear. The Children in Need choir will also sing a medley to help raise money for the charity.
Among those taking part is Owain Wyn Evans, following his 400-mile cycling challenge across the UK's four nations. His route began in Scotland and finished in Cardiff.
Morning Live presenters Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley have also joined the fundraising effort, learning instruments and forming a band in just a matter of weeks. After they performed on today's Morning Live, Tom Grennan surprised the pair with the news that they would also be playing live on Children in Need tonight.
Fundraising Total Announced
Gethin was moved to tears when Gaby Roslin, who was hosting alongside Gordon Smart, revealed the fundraising total. She announced: "We can now reveal that the amount raised so far from Pudsey's Build-a-Band Challenge and The One Show's Challenge Squad is £1,503,391."
Gethin replied: "That is so generous, thank you so much!" Wiping away tears, he added: "Oh my god."
Return to Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
