It's all Fleabag's fault

BBC One is cutting back the News at Ten to make time to showcase some of the best BBC Three projects.

Starting on Monday, March 4, the broadcaster will change its late night programming format to create a special slot to air BBC Three shows between Monday and Wednesday every week.

The 'BBC Three slot' will begin at 10.35pm on these nights, launching with the second series of Fleabag, reality-esque dating show Eating With My Ex and a Stacey Dooley fronted make-up competition called Glow-Up, which will air across Monday to Wednesday respectively.

The change will see the News at Ten downsized from 45 minutes in length to just 35 minutes, including cuts to national and local News and weather.

The shorter news show mimics the format the BBC already adopts on Friday nights, when The Graham Norton Show begins at 10.35pm, and the post-news slot will be held by Fiona Bruce's Question Time on Thursdays.

Anyone who's likely to miss the longer news show will also be able to watch Newsnight on BBC Two as well.
