I've just looked at the tv listings and it's the same as last week but there isn't one on, on Sunday. Does anyone know why this is?

Ah, the Sunday shows have been moved to Saturday for a wee while to accomodate the Celebrity specials, of which the second is a week on Sunday (Sarah Millican is the player, incidentally).

The bigger question (as Travis noticed) is why on the 21st is DOND on ridiculously early (12.50pm would you believe)

The schedules seem to have changed, as they now indicate that Olly Murs' show is being aired on Sunday 22nd.

That's really weird. I checked and it's not a repeat show (as I was wondering whether it was a repeat, and they'd stick the new show at a later time on that day). I can see the schedule changing again before the 21st. If it stays at 12:50pm, then most regular viewers will surely miss it - I doubt Channel 4 gets many viewers on a Saturday lunchtime, and fans of DoND will be looking for it later in the day (if they're looking for it at all - they may just assume it's only on the Sunday and not on the Saturday).

That has got to be the earliest it's ever been on.

Currently, I think the earliest it's ever been on is 2:50pm (on a Sunday), right at the beginning of this season. I think it was on extra-early because the season came back 2 weeks early, and they presumably had to rearrange the scheduling on that particular Sunday.

It's also been aired at about 3pm on Christmas/Boxing Day before, due to the Christmas schedule.

The ideal time on Saturdays would be 6pm which I think would be the best option to maximise ratings given the competition from 7pm onwards.

I think its a few reasons.

1) I didn't watch Jimmy Carr episode either, so am consistent as regards celeb episodes I suppose.

2) Not keen on Olly Murs, true. However I suppose its because I prefered Deal when it was a lot simpler a game. When there were.

45 minute shows.

Not as much back story to the contestants (this isn't The X Factor).

And your only there ONCE.

I love the show, watch as many shows as I possibly can, but putting Olly back on does seem to go against the spirit of the game in my opinion.

When olly was on x factor, I really didn't like him, found him too cocky but since then for no reasons whatsoever, I changed by opinions and am really looking forward to Sunday and he sings at the end!
