According to the RadioTimes website, there are episodes of DOND scheduled for this Saturday (13/1) and next Saturday (20/1).

I'm aware that the 13/1 episode is a repeat of Laura's game from Sunday 7/1, but what is the Saturday 20/1 episode?

It's scheduled for 45 minutes, so I can only assume they're repeating a certain episode from next week because it's a cracker of an episode (like they're repeating Laura's), they're repeating an episode randomly, or maybe there's a new episode on that day? There's one scheduled for Sunday 21/1, so if it's a new episode, there'll be 7 episodes of DOND in that week! Unless they're repeating "classic" episodes on Saturdays?

By the way, if anyone knows that they are repeating a game from next week because it's a memorable episode, please do NOT post any spoilers in this section - instead, go to the spoilers section.

Interesting! Amanda's game, possibly?

EDIT: There's a Saturday episode on the 27th January too, according to Channel4sales.com!

I should point out that I'm talking about Channel 4 here, and not More4... And it's also interesting that the 20/1 episode (at least) is listed as a repeat... I reckon they're either showing a classic episode in this slot (am I right in thinking that from this Sunday, More4 will no longer be showing classic episodes every Sunday?), or they're repeating the previous Sunday's episode... although I'm not sure why they'd do that on the following Saturday. :?

Channel 4 has never repeated DOND, except for Kirsty's game in place of Amanda's on 24/11, Wrighty's game being repeated on 30/12, and Laura's game being repeated on 13/1...

I reckon it might well be Amanda's on the 20th, but I think they're readying the show for a reversion to Saturdays instead of Sundays starting on the 27th. There's no X-Factor/Strictly Come Dancing to face on Saturdays now after all.

I don't think it'll be long before another popular Saturday night show starts... I mean, isn't Ant and Dec's show due for another run soon? That gets high ratings, I'd imagine. I think DOND will probably stay on Sundays, at least for the time being. And anyway, these repeats are scheduled for late afternoon.

I hope the second show is Amanda's show. I can fully undeerstand why it was not shown first time round, but it's bugging me as it's left a hole in my table, so I would like to see the show at some point, and hopefully the 20/1 show is going to be her show.

I hope it's Amanda's show too - if she doesn't want it to be shown then obviously it's only right to respect that, but I thought she was awesome on the wings so I'd like to see her game. It seems more likely to me, though, that they're just going to start repeating the Sunday shows on the following Saturday for some reason.

Although I would be reluctant to see the jackpot increased an a once a week basis, I think that if they return DOND to Saturdays primetime then they need to up the jackpot for it to compete against other popular primetime shows. Sundays have produced some classic shows, but haven't yet been that special in the ratings relative to the weekdays, so inevitably the Saturday/Sunday debate will be revisited by Endemol and Channel 4.

It would appear that the More4 repeats of old games from 2005 have been getting very good ratings - so I'm wondering if they'll be showing them on C4 on Saturdays - perhaps as a teaser for 4OD?

On the other hand, the C4 Sunday episodes haven't been getting very good ratings... so it may well be that they're repeating them on the following Saturday to try and boost the ratings for them and encourage people to watch on Sunday?! Although it could confuse non-regulars. :?

Is there any reason to think that a bigger jackpot will produce more viewers? My gut feeling is that it wouldn't make a jot of difference, long-term.

I think they are just going to be repeating the previous weeks Sunday episode - As there is a repeat of the previous Sunday's 'The Search' directly after!

Just a reminder...

Saturday 20 January
4:40pm - 5:25pm
Channel 4

This is a repeat... but I don't know what it's a repeat of! If it's a repeat of a recent episode, I'd have expected the C4 announcer to say that there's another chance to see the episode on Saturday... but they've said nothing... so I wonder if it's a classic repeat? I do believe they didn't show Karen from Show 43's game on More4 last Sunday... maybe it'll be on C4 tomorrow... keep tuned!

That would be good, I've never seen her show before.

Aw, it's just Sarah's game. Don't get me wrong, Sarah's game was awesome, but...I just saw it yesterday. I wanted it to be an old one. :(
