With the recent news of Covid-19 and the entire world coming to a standstill it has been confirmed by the BBC this morning that Shows like Eastenders and Top Gear are to resume filming in next month following the shut down of most TV programs. They will do this while being socially distant from each other and the presenters will have to do their own makeup. Charlotte Moore says "We're also exploring ways to re-start filming on more dramas and other major BBC shows as soon as possible."Writing in The Telegraph, she said the broadcaster wanted to "help fire up the engines of British TV production - safely and sensibly".

She wrote: "We've been looking very carefully at how we can safely put some of our shows back into production, and I'm pleased to announce that we plan to begin filming again on both EastEnders and Top Gear by the end of next month."
She continued: "Cast members will do their own hair and make-up. Social distancing measures will be in place."
Coronavirus is expected to be referenced as part of the storylines, although not in a prominent way.
The BBC said it would use "strictly limited" crews and stick to government guidelines when it resumes.
