Doctor Who has set a new record for BBC's iPlayer downloads. The Eleventh Hour has achieved the highest number of requests in a week, with 1.27 million requests to view seven days after it was screened by the BBC.

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan

Hahaha, got to love that AMerican woman who compared the popularity to Two and a Half Men! Really doesn't get it and i bet most American fans would have laughed at that, too!

If they'd compared it to something like Star Trek, they'd have been more on the money. But why Two and a Half Men? It hardly comes anywhere near the level of popularity or longetivity of Dr Who. But then it was Fox!

Still, it was good to listen to Matt and Karen.
