Might just be co-incidence that the episode was swapped, and then announcement of Charlton's death came along. Dare say that has nothing to do with the swapping..
After all for most gameshows the order the episodes air in don't really matter. Its only when contestants straddle episodes you can't have a problem with the episode order, so the likes of Countdown for example, and back in the day Blockbusters as well. "In a change to the advertised episode" may apply primarily to sitcom but is probably valid for gameshows as well.
Though that being said, IIRC didn't Countdown either run out of episodes or for some other reason they had to swap an episode out?
