Just wodering is it possible to find a list of channels that show DW throughout the world and possibly the ratings outside of UK?

Thanks, it's OK.

I just wondered, as there used to be 2 repeats iirc, on Sunday and then on Friday, and now there's only one, which if they were counted in the overall ratings would skew the final figures a bit!

Good question. What did become of Live +7 ? I had thought the BBC intended to publish these?

They only get published occasionally, but here are some from Series Seven so far (BBC One final figures in brackets):

9.65m (8.33m) - Asylum of the Daleks
8.64m (7.57m) - Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
9.22m (8.42m) - A Town Called Mercy
8.68m (7.67m) - The Power of Three
8.92m (7.82m) - The Angels Take Manhattan

A belated thanks for giving the figures!

Viewing figures are pretty good though, especially considering people say the last episodes were so bad.

Countries that broadcast Doctor Who

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who#International

Doctor Who episode Hide had 5 million average and 24.5 percent share

Only 5 million for doctor who yesterday.... interesting to see the breakdown to elucidate how the BGT clash affected it.

Thats not a bad result, I was thinking something between 5-5.5 million depending on the weather.

Same as The Almost People in series 6 in May 2011

It was a bad result in 2011 and its a bad result now - this is only episode 4 of this run after all - hopefully it doesn't go any lower.

I'm really pleased you were not posting here when we got the final ratings in for The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit back in series 2, I would have feared for your wellbeing....

Break down of DW across it's slot from the ratings thread:

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...&postcount=872

18:45 - 4.76m (26.4%)
18:50 - 4.88m (26.7%)
18:55 - 5.07m (27.4%)
19:00 - 5.07m (24.6%)
19:05 - 5.03m (23.5%)
19:10 - 5.08m (24.4%)
19:15 - 5.06m (23.8%)
19:20 - 5.10m (22.7%)
19:25 - 4.80m (22.3%)

Couple of tiny dips but overall it increased across it's slot.

Note: the 19:25 five minute slot will include the bit after the show has ended

People like you get me so annoyed. Its not really a bad result. It was up against BGT and got 5m. and will most probably timeshift to around 7m. how is that a bad result. It won't go down it will stick around the 5-5.5m figure then will go to 6m for the final then hopefully the 50th + Christmas special will get an overnight of 7-8m in the colder weather

Exactly. The Sun reading people who agree that a program is on the slide just because of it's overnights are low annoy me a tad - overnights mean nothing.

I was driving about yesterday evening and the pubs were really busy with people outside enjoying the weather; in Tesco people were buying BBQ stuff for um, well BBQ's quite possibly

There will be a good time shift - final figure will be around 7m - if not higher.

Interesting to see what Yog101 1st day time-shift will be. If it's over 1m we should get a 2m time-shift.

I hope!

Astonishing, really, that the BBC will change its entire Saturday evening schedule to protect The Voice from a BGT clash - and instead puts one of its only really original, high quality family dramas up against it instead.

It's dumbfounding - especially in its 50th anniversary year. The show wasn't trailed at all this week either.

Let's hope The Sun will publish a story about how much better many people thought the last couple of episodes were and how the show is recovering from its "slide".

I'm not holding my breath though...

I saw the trailer several times.

And the break down doesn't really support the idea that BGT had much of an impact. I'd say it's 70% weather, 30% BGT at most.

However much we love Doctor Who, we have to understand that it cannot always be the BBC's priority.

Not really. They will have calculated that the audience for BGT and TV is largely the same people, whereas Doctor Who viewers are largely not the same people as BGT and TV. BGT and TV are similar types of programme which attract similar viewers. They want to avoid splitting the viewing figures, fearing that TV would loose out.

Putting a show like Doctor Who up against BGT says a lot more about Doctor Who than a lot of people seem to think. If they're happy to put it up against the likes of BGT then they are clearly still displaying a confidence in the brand. It's when they start trying to avoid Doctor Who clashing with BGT that we should be worried.

Doctor Who - 7.37m (overnight: 5.72m)


Cold War ended up timeshifting slightly better than expected actually - still down about 400k on the timeshift audience on Akhaten though. Assuming the timeshift audience remains steady Hide will probably timeshift to about 6.65.

Final ratings for Cold War were 7.37 million, with a timeshift of 1.64 million. While the timeshift is indeed a little down than of late, it did better than was being predicted in this thread a few days ago.....

thats a fairly negative assumption, given that Cold War was, as far as we can tell, at this stage, an exception rather than a rule. I expect a bigger timeshift this week, on the logical basis that this is what has most always happened in recent years when the overnight ratings have been lower.
