Further changes have been confirmed for the BBC\u2019s TV schedule today (Thursday 15th September) as coverage of the lead-up to Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s funeral continues.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster has shifted its scheduled programming daily since the Queen\u2019s death was announced last week<\/a> to accommodate for special coverage.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s schedule will see The Repair Shop air on BBC One at 8pm, after EastEnders at 7:30pm. The channel will also feature the return of Celebrity MasterChef<\/a> with not one but two episodes following last week\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n

The BBC has confirmed Mary Berry will appear in the first semi-finals episode, which will air at 8:30pm, with the celebrities asked to cook a dish dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen. The second episode will air straight after the first and decide which of the contestants make it to Finals Week, with the semi-finalists asked to cook their most impressive comfort food dishes.<\/p>\n

Another addition to the schedule includes Lone Scherfig\u2019s World War II film Their Finest, starring Gemma Arterton and Peaky Blinders<\/a>\u2018 Sam Claflin, at 11:10pm.<\/p>\n

BBC Two will also be changing its schedule today with a slew of its programmes dropped, including Eggheads, Villages by the Sea \u2013 Gorey, Stuck, and Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art.<\/p>\n

There have also been a few additions made to BBC Two\u2019s schedule, such as Cricket: Women\u2019s T20 Highlights at 11:15pm, and Days That Shook the BBC with David Dimbleby 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Schedule changes are expected to take place tomorrow and throughout the weekend in the lead up to the Queen\u2019s funeral on Monday 19th September.<\/p>\n

The service will take place at Westminster Abbey and be televised. Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday 8th September aged 96 following a 70-year reign, making her the longest-reigning monarch in UK history.<\/p>\n
