BBC will return as a broadcast channel on Tuesday (February 1), six years after it went online only.
The channel of Fleabag, This Country and RuPaul’s Drag Race begins at 7pm tomorrow with a special launch show.

BBC Three is targeted at a younger audience and it will have a sport focus, hosting live football this week with both semi-finals and the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) live on free-to-air television.
Fiona Campbell, BBC Three controller, says: "This is a big moment, with the new channel providing a destination for young audiences to discover more content on the BBC."
She added: "We know how popular sport is with younger audiences and it’s going to have a big part to play on BBC Three. AFCON is set to be an incredibly exciting tournament with some of the best players in the World on show and it's brilliant news that we will be showing the climax of the competition on free to air television.”
