Actually, the FA Cup Final drew 11.3m and Doctor Who only drew 8.4m so more people wanted to see the FA Cup Final.

Discussion of the match is as much a part of the even as the game itself. It was only 20 minutes for heaven's sake - it's not like anything was cancelled.
(And for the record, I'm a fan of football and Doctor Who.)
