The Great British Sewing Bee contestants start to panic The Great British Sewing Bee aficionados were left in a stitch of annoyance as their favourite show was unexpectedly dropped from the BBC One Tuesday night lineup. Devotees of the sartorial series, which is typically broadcast at 9pm, were met with disappointment when the programme was sidelined for a last-minute schedule reshuffle. In a bid to serve up its Wimbledon coverage, the Beeb decided to postpone the much-loved sewing contest, promising viewers a fresh episode on Wednesday evening instead, also at 9pm on BBC One.
The official Twitter handle for The Great British Sewing Bee broke the news to fans, posting: "Sorry to burst your bubble: Sewing Bee is on tomorrow instead of tonight! " This led to an immediate thread of disgruntled responses in the comments section. Discontent was palpable among the show's fanbase, with one viewer lamenting: "Why??? Replacing it with the Repair Shop makes no sense at all." Another chimed in with frustration over sports displacements: "I don't understand why can't footy, tennis etc be put on @BBCThree instead of messing up regular schedules, it'd give a boost to that other channel it wouldn't normally get," reports the Mirror .
Fans weren't happy about the sudden change (Image: BBC/James Stack) Confusion and irritation continued to unravel as another fan queried: "What Wednesday night?? What time and which channel - BBC1 or BBC2?" Meanwhile, another expressed their vexation more blunt.
