As Travis P pointed out the other day - next weekend, there will be an episode of DOND on Saturday 8th September, but not on Sunday 9th. Apparently the episode on Saturday 8th is a new one and not a repeat... does this mean that weekend DOND is moving from Sunday to Saturday? :?

I think the real question here is:

Does anybody actually care?

Hmm. It's a tough one I must admit :smt102

Erm... as this is a Deal or No Deal forum, I think a few people might actually care when it's on... :roll:

Thanks for the prompt, power5. I didn't know about this and it is certainly strange. Keep us posted. :)

I sort of wondered that when it was said the winner of the £15,000 viewers thing would be announced next Saturday..

DOND starts at 7.30pm (I think) on Saturday 8th September. It's not on on Sunday 9th September.

They said on Sunday's LTL that the winner would be announced on Saturday... so it's definitely on this Saturday.

That's strange.

It's as if they wanted to show a special episode to commemorate the day of my birth.

Mmm.

Audience figure for last Saturday was just 864,000 (probably lowest ever?) Five days a week here we come...

I think that could be the lowest ever figure - even lower than the 2005 episodes back in the early days, which got about 1 / 2 million, I believe...

It does make you wonder if they moved the show from Sunday to Saturday to have an excuse to get rid of the weekend show as they knew the ratings would be so poor - putting a standard version of DOND (i.e. nothing special, no increased jackpot, no special LTL or anything like that) up against The X Factor was bound to be a disaster... and it was.

The thing is, they've recorded the shows up until the end of November, so presumably we'll be seeing weekend shows up until then.

I have just checked and the average viewing figures back in 2005 were about 2 million - some of the weekend shows don't have viewing figures listed for them, as they didn't make it into the Channel 4 top 10 on the BARB website - but they were probably still around the 1 - 2 million mark - 864,000 is bad. :?

Give it time; after all no real notice was given to the day switch. When they moved it to Sundays, Noel gave us plenty of notice.

Well, DOND starts today at 7:15 as The X Factor on ITV 1 finishes at 7:20 - so DOND may do better this week as it isn't up against The X Factor, although it is against Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, so I can't see DOND doing too well this week again either. :?

I wouldn't actually mind it going 5 days a week, I don't think it really works on a Saturday night. However, does the audience figures account for the people who recorded it. Both last night and last Saturday, I've been busy so recorded the show. I've still seen it, just not at the time it was shown on TV.

The initial figures don't count people who have recorded the show to watch at a later date, but even when it does, I can't see it increasing that much - not beyond 1.5 million really...
