What Happened
Tonight, February 22, the popular drama Call the Midwife will not air in its usual 8pm slot on BBC One. Instead, the channel will broadcast the BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), an annual awards ceremony celebrating excellence in film and television.
Why It Matters
The BAFTAs are a significant event in the entertainment calendar, showcasing the best British and international contributions to the industry. This year’s ceremony, hosted by Alan Cumming, will feature performances from artists such as Jessie Ware and the K-Pop group EJAE, marking their first UK performance since the release of their Netflix project, Demon Hunters.
What’s Next
Following the BAFTAs, Call the Midwife will return to BBC One on March 1 at 8pm for episode 7 of its 15th series. The show confirmed this schedule change via its official Instagram account, assuring fans of its return after the awards ceremony.
