The Death in Paradise spin-off Return to Paradise will not air tonight, as the BBC replaces it with this year's Children in Need charity event.
Series three of Return to Paradise began last Friday, with viewers treated to two episodes. The show, which usually airs at 8pm, will be replaced tonight by the BBC charity event, which runs from 7pm to 10pm.
Children in Need Line-Up
The synopsis for the charity event reads: "Mel Giedroyc, Sara Cox, Alex Jones, Rylan and Tyler West lead a star-studded show packed with famous faces, dazzling performances, exclusive sketches, big surprises and Pudsey Bear, live from MediaCityUK in Salford."
It adds: "The One Show Challenge Squad tackle new challenges to make a difference to other young lives and Owain Wyn Evans is live in the studio after his 400-mile four nations cycle challenge. Plus, the Children in Need choir sing a medley live to help raise money for the charity."
Return to Paradise Returns Next Friday
This is just a one-off, as Return to Paradise will return on Friday, November 20, at 8pm. The synopsis for the third episode teases: "The anniversary screening of Dolphin Cove cult horror film Blood Wave goes off with a literal bang when one of its key creatives is killed during the iconic gunshot sequence, Mack and Glenn investigate how the killer fired a gun in front of a packed cinema without the audience realising."
Lots of celebrities have been taking part in challenges to help raise money for Children in Need, including Owain Wyn Williams, who has been undertaking a cycling challenge throughout this week, pedalling 400 miles through the country's four nations, starting in Scotland and finishing in his Welsh homeland in Cardiff.
Fundraising Efforts
BBC Morning Live presenters Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley have also been getting stuck into fundraising by learning to play an instrument and forming a band in a matter of weeks. The duo performed live on today's Morning Live and were surprised by Tom Grennan, who announced they would be performing live tonight for Children in Need.
Gethin also broke down in tears after learning how much money they had raised for charity so far. Gaby Roslin, who co-hosted Morning Live with Gordon Smart today, 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 commented: "That is so generous, thank you so much!" Gethin then became so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity that he broke down in tears, saying, wiping away tears: "Oh my god."
Return to Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
