If you’re wanting to watch the latest drama in Albert Square on Monday, it will be starting at the earlier time of 7.15pm until 7.45pm on BBC One.

The full summary on Radio Times says: “Nish arrives at No 41 to tell Suki the solicitor has sent both copies of their divorce paperwork to him but he has another reason for visiting.

“George gets his hopes up when Elaine asks him to come over but she just wants him to cover the bar while she's out.

This will be followed by Spider-Man: No Way Home being shown from 7.45pm.
