Whoever is doing next week's schedule has a lot to choose from with Hotel Inspector, The Reckoning, Long Lost Family and maybe Rock and Chips and also films like Made of Honour but Royal Wedding week should be just as packed with shows.

Rock & Chips will be the following week according to Digiguide. Even more jam packed for whoever's doing the Royal Wedding week!

I am doing next weeks one. The specials will be a bit tricky as there are a few too choose from .

On a side note, Dancc, are we having any twists this season, I really enjoyed them a few seasons back but noticed there were not many last season?

I liked that one where it was two schedules and everyone was split into two groups.

Yeah, I scaled the twists back a bit last season as I was worried people might be getting sick of them as there were quite a few in Season 12.

But the special weeks are being rested rather than done for good. I think we'll definitely revisit the head-to-head weeks this season (I really enjoyed those too) and possibly split weeks too. Blind weeks will always be a fixture, with one or two per season.

If anyone else has a cool idea for something new we could try by the way, do let me know. I'm always open to ideas and I like to shake things up a bit from time to time.

I think it's Dancc!
It is indeed. I normally take the first and last week of each season, t'was a little ongoing tradition of mine. But lately I've been naughty, dropping the last week in favour of other more exciting weeks. Bad habit, I'm sorry. But one of the perks of running the thing I guess.

Anyway, looking forward to putting that one together. The last couple I did I had lots to choose from as well, so I've been pretty fortunate really with how the schedules have gone my way!

I never used to do any schedule making when the game started. Since taking it over and doing them for the first time I've realised I had been missing out. It's actually good fun to do and I enjoy going through the schedules with a fine-tooth comb looking for potential shows to include.

Do you know what you have planned for Royal Wedding Week? That should be a good week although there is a lot of William and Kate shows.

Oh wow! A good start to the season for me, I thought I had messed it up half way through the week! .
Georged123 top and you 2nd. Don't tell me that old rivalry is going to fire up again this season!

Seriously though, a great start for you mate.

I guess you're entitled to take on special weeks like The Royal Wedding. I like doing schedules but it can be hard deciding what to have especially on your upcoming week which has Rock and Chips, Mr Whicher, Masterchef finals, The Royal Wedding and potentially Vera so the specials that week are going to hard to choose from.

Err, still in the planning stages! To be honest I haven't even started yet. Now the provisionals are fully out minus the weekend I can make a start.

There is a lot of William and Kate shows as you'd expect but also a lot of other new and prominent shows that deserve inclusion. So the battle for me is going to be how much of the schedule is royal related and how much is normal stuff, but hopefully I can get the balance right.

I'm sure some might have elected to have the whole schedule as royal themed but I don't think I'll be doing that due to all the other highlights that week - should be a huge week for TV viewing!

I dont envy you, it's going to be a tough week to schedule. Maybe that could be a specials week!

Yep, I was thinking along those lines too. What about everyone else?
