Next Saturday evening it's X-Men vs Doctor Who.

'You've been framed' being shown on ITV prior to the film. (yawn)

Anyone notice a pattern emerging.. ?

ITV - Star Wars 3.5 Million
BBC1 - Dr Who 6.6 Million (and it started 1/2 an hour earlier which confused some viewers).

H - advertisers would be better trying to get DW on ITV for a hit!

I am a new Dr Who fan, ITV are choosing films that I already have on DVD and so I am sure a lot of other DW fans do also, somebody hasn't thought this through properly

DW got a 34.9% audience share over 22% for PM...Eurovision only got a 38.8% later in the evening so I guess DW won the battle with a little help from Arsenal and Man U

Just to be a pain in the neck, i think the footie may have cost DW rather than gained for it. Simple reaon I say this is having spent a large chunk of my life as a Pub Landlord a lot of people gather in pubs for football, and a lot of people watching football depending on the result head off to pubs. That element are not likely to want to watch Doctor Who and if it were a posibility may not have been allowed.

I think the proportion of people that would watch both may have recorded last nights DW. As it came second place to a drink IMHO the same thing happens to soaps and popular dramas when a big match is on the same night.

One highly positive thing however is it does show that DW has an appromimate base hardcore of viewers around 6.5 million which should to the producers of DW be somewhat of a triumph!

I think the important figure is the share roman which showed that even on a sunny (well, warmish) evening against a big budget movie, out of time slot and in a multi-channel country, DW still picked up over a third of all people watching TV at that time and was only a million and a half down on the audience for Eurovision...agree about footie fan habits though, where's the paracetamol? Coffee...need coffee...
