Death in Paradise's upcoming finale has been delayed as part of a BBC schedule change next week.
While the season 14 closer was expected to air next Friday (March 21), it will be making way for Comic Relief on BBC One.
As a result, fans should expect the episode to instead air a week later on March 28, the same night that spin-off Beyond Paradise is due to return, while tonight's penultimate Death in Paradise episode will air as planned.

Fans will still be able to get their fix of the Death in Paradise universe for Red Nose Day next week, however, with spin-off Beyond Paradise set to cross over with Lee Mack's sitcom Not Going Out.
Speaking about the sketch, which will see the Not Going Out cast cause chaos on the coast, star Sally Bretton teased: "It was great fun to have the two worlds collide, play my own doppelganger and get swept up in the madness that comes with that.
What to Read Next
"It was particularly special to be doing it all for such a brilliant cause as Comic Relief. The sketch was filmed at such high speed, we didn’t know if we were coming or going. I don’t know how Lee Mack holds all the moving parts in his head.

"We all had a great day filled with fun, confusion and belly laughs."
Fellow actor Kris Marshall added: "It’s always a delight to be able to combine the joys of comedy with the ability to help the many worthwhile charities that Comic Relief supports.
"And that as a part of the hilarious mistaken identities and sliding-doors pastiche in a melange of two of the BBC’s most beloved shows, I can be a small cog in this year’s wonderful evening of fun, frolics and fundraising."
Death in Paradise and its spin-off, Beyond Paradise, both air on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
