Panicking over what exactly? TEH has just broken the record for iPlayer downloads, the timeshifts have been unprecedented so far and the series has been commissioned for a Christmas Special and a Sixth (Fnarg +1) run...add that to the fact that excepting (much as it pains me to say) Britain's favourite TV programme, BGT, DW is the most watched programme on Saturday nights...
What pissed me off about that is them saying it beat Doctor Who, yet they were on at completely different times.
The Beats Below had the overnight ratings of 6.7 million....the official rathings are in...and they 8.4 million....(inc HD)
So that is over a million in Timeshift....VOTD is going to sail through the 7 million rank with no problems....
PANIC OFFICAILLY OVER!!!!
The overnight ratings are becoming increasingly irrelevant, particularly this year since the earlier time slot means a lot of regular viewers aren't home for the initial broadcast but record it, watch it on Sunday or on i-player instead.
Series 5 has the second highest ratings for a series opener.
Series 5 has third highest ratings for the second episode of a series.
Note: series 5 figures include HD viewers
A very very solid start to the new era ratings wise, a similar time shift for VOTD should see us over 8 million,well within the normal range for this point in the series.

Edit: Along with GITF!
I liked The Impossible Planet, and The Satan Pit disappointed me and dampened it a bit for me.

Oi, I thought Muttley was the official panic stopper!
Classic DS nonsense - because DW was the most viewed programme for the previous 2 weeks, they extrapolated that BGT had "beaten" it...
Someone had to step into her shoes before someone else made another claim about the end of Doctor Who as it is!!!!:D
8.42m - including BBC HD.
Good stuff on both counts.
Definitely shows that the over nights don't count for much ratings wise these days.
The first two episodes got an AI of 86 each?
That's a very high AI rating indeed isn't it?
Yep.
VotD got an 84 too.

Thats another pretty tasty time shift! I think it's official now that we treat all overnights with extreme caution as far as DW is concerned!
The AI for VOTD is okay considering the way some people on here have reacted to the episode!
