The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has announced a scheduling change for its beloved series 'Gladiators' in light of the Winter Olympics coverage, which has resulted in several tweaks to its programming. As sports events dominate the schedule, other shows like 'Morning Live' and 'BBC Breakfast' have already been affected by the influx of Olympic broadcasts.

The change particularly concerns episodes five and six of the third series of 'Gladiators'. The BBC explained that episode five, marking the final heat of the series, will now air at 20:00 on February 14, contingent upon whether the preceding football match concludes in the standard 90 minutes. Following this, episode six, which kicks off the quarter-finals, will shift to a new time of 19:15 on February 21.

For viewers eager to catch the shows earlier, the BBC has made provisions available through its iPlayer service, allowing fans to watch each episode at their convenience. This adjustment reflects the BBC's ongoing commitment to adapting its schedule in response to major sporting events while also prioritizing viewer engagement with its regular programming.
