    As a long standing member of being a DW Fan - I am pleased that it is still doing well in the "Ratings" - and even better in the 'Shares' !
    But I still think that it has diminished since the days of the Tennant! He certainly knew when to get out didn't he?? Those were the BIG days!!:):):)

    You can think that, but you're still statistically and factually wrong. ;) I mean, that whole 50th anniversary thing... Kinda caused a bit of a ruckus!

    Live + VOSDAL: 4.808m
    + Day 1: 6.125m
    + Day 2: 6.526m
    + Day 3: 6.657m
    + Day 4: 6.725m

    Could be a close thing to reach the 7m mark

    EDIT: Just looking at the timings of the programme, looks like we could see a significant shift once the time adjustment is taken into account - 19:31 - 20:18 (which I believe are the start and end times of the episode) sees an average of 6.823m

    Thanks so much for posting these each week. Very interesting.

    Damn. The last day or so normally timeshifts much better than those preceding so hopefully with that plus the timings adjustment it'll get over the line.

    It surprises me to still see people bigging up the ratings as though anyone really thinks the show is in danger and they have to prove it isn't. Of course it's not! You'd have to be a fool to think it was.

    And yet, I see people all the time raving about how the ratings show that no-one watches Doctor Who any more.
    I think I saw two or three this past week.

    These people never fail to amaze me: it's like they want the show to fail - it's kind of sad they do that to be honest.

    I for one am pleased Doctor Who is still doing so well in the ratings - it bodes well for the future of the show :)

    To be fair, I used to be one of those people. It wasn't that I was trying to diss the show, I was genuinely worried at the fall in overnights and whether this would jeopardise the show going forward. The discussion for me was always about whether the show had stopped being 'must see' TV or if it was just a change in viewing habits.

    But I'm much more comfortable now with the overnights and final viewing figures, particularly since the show (even just on overnights) is wiping the floor with pretty much everything else on Saturday night TV apart from X-Factor (although I think Strictly might help with that).

    The fact is the BBC seems happy with how the show is performing and Irma Bunt says elsewhere in this thread that the show is doing incredibly well still (and Irma works for ITV!). So I'm a happy bunny now. Hopefully the other worriers will follow suit. :)

    So with 2 days and time adjustment to be added, 202k is needed to reach the 7m mark. It may fall just short.

    Sorry but I can't help giggling inside at the fact that Doctor Who is so popular on "time-shift". I just get this idea that timelord technology started out as iplayer and grew from there.

    I don't trust Live+7 but here you go.

    Doctor Who - Deep Breath has a final Live+7 UK TV audience of 10.76 million viewers.

    The Live+7 figure includes not only those who watch the BBC One broadcast and those who time-shift it, but also those who watch the repeats on other UK channels and those who watch the programme on i-Player. The total figure is an estimate of the total number of unique viewers, who have watched the episode on television, within one week on broadcast.

    The Deep Breath figure was made up of
    6.807 million - Watched Live or by delayed recording on the same day
    0.456 million - watched a repeat
    2.525 million - watched on Time-shift
    0.971 million - watched on iPlayer
    66% of the audience watched it Live or on the same day compared with a BBC average of 87%. 22% watched on time-shift where the average is 6%, and 9% watched on iPlayer compared to an average for all BBC programmes of 3%.

    The figure does not include those who watched only at a cinema.
    Robot of Sherwood has now been confirmed as finishing 10th in the weekly chart. Is the sixth episode in a row to reach the UK top Ten

    Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who debut defeated major Hollywood films when it was shown at US cinemas last month.

    The feature-length episode was screened at more than 650 cinemas on August 25th and, according to figures compiled by Rentrak, took more than all other films shown that night.

    “Doctor Who continues to grow in the U.S. and it is thrilling to see the fans come out for the theatrical screening experience as we’ve embarked on new adventures with Peter Capaldi as the Doctor,” said Soumya Sriraman, BBC Worldwide North America’s EVP Home Entertainment and Licensing.

    Is there anywhere where I can get LIVE + 7 TOP 10 CHARTS?

    I like to pop in and see the updates and breakdowns here (thank you providers). The time-shift and other additions to the broadcast figures seem especially high for the show - one of the highest on time-shift and iplayer views I expect some will confirmed (or already has!). It is fascinating to see how viewing habits are changing with technology.

    As the show is appearing in the top ten and regularly beating the soaps then there is nothing to worry about and that's before the overseas sales (not an option for most UK programmes) are considered.

    4.93 million - 23.8% share. Second most watched programme.

    ( Slightly up on 'Listen' - for both )

    (( The X Factor drew 8.57m/40.1% ))

    Free fall aborted, yet again ;-) Now we wait for AI, Listen's finals and what SCD brings us, next week! :)

    should be in the range of around 7 million for finals again. Next weeks result will be fascinating to see, so many variables it's hard to know where the overnights will land....

    Exactly. It's got an 8.30 slot which could both help or hinder it, and it's got the SCD lead in, but it's also up against X Factor for the full slot. Shall be interesting indeed

    With a better lead in I was expecting about 5m so that's okay.

    Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens with the SCD lead in and the later time slot next week.

    Obviously helped by the far better lead in. The ratings are stable enough (around or slightly below series 7 overall). The AI still needs to improve though. Last night's episode seemed to have been surprisingly marmite so it'll be interesting to see what that gets.
