Last night's Launch Show had overnights of 8.43m and had 33.7% of the TV viewing audience.
It beat the X-Factor!
Those overnight figures are the same as for last year (with a 7.6% drop in audience share). Last year's show was in a different time slot on the Saturday night.
Figures from the Ratings Thread on DS.

#StrictlyComeDancing kicks off with a peak of 6.8m (av 6.5m). The highest rating show at 9pm. #SCD @BBCOne
The clash clearly affected both shows' audience in the overnights.
I agree. Strictly has started on a Friday for the past few years, so ITV decide to put X Factor against it presuming it will win and it's blown up in their faces. Last nights X Factor was very poorly received with people claiming it was fixed (never?!) and was uncomfortable viewing. A disaster for ITV and Cowell and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this turns out to be the last series.
#StrictlyComeDancing was the highest rating show of the night, averaging 8.1m, peaking at 9.1m. #SCD

#TheXFactor: 7.85m/34.6%
#DoctorWho: 4.89m/21.8%.
I wouldn't expect the viewing figures to be affected just yet, it's the first show of the new series, I would think most people would at least give it a chance.
For myself, I found myself fast forwarding on the iPlayer just as much to get past the usual cruft they put in, and also found myself getting very annoyed by Tess's forced bonhomie, to the point where I fast forwarded her too. It's getting to be quite a short show for me.
As daft as the nonsense about people not watching because of Bruce.
Does anybody know how this compares to last years ratings?

I also read that XF beat SCD in Sun's launch show ratings when playback was included
Yes but in terms of the actual show when it was live, Strictly got the highest rating!
Does it really matter who beats who?
And yet the ratings jumped up by 2 million last night.;-)
As for your last sentence, I fear for your sake that the show is a long way from being cancelled.:D
Imho SCD don't stand a chance of beating the X Factor viewing figures this year... The first show didn't seem credible, the two trainee presenters looked what they are trainee's. Tess was brill as Brucie's sidekick...but not a main presenter of a prime time show... as for the giddy one upstairs, for every one that think she is quirky and smart there will be ten/twenty that will switch off in disbelief...
