What i think is really great about Dr Who is the ratings have been really steady since its return. Even the Christmas ones have got brilliant ratings.
I would have thought the ratings would have declined by now, not that the quality has. Good to see that the ratings are so great, even 3 years after it came on. |

The current series average for DW is 7.0m.
Highest rating so far is...8.4m Lowest rating so far is...5.4m The last 3 eps should rate quite well and push up the average, but i'm not sure if the finale will top 8.4m, the highest rating of the series so far... |

![]() I enjoyed it, but I agreed with views expressed that it might alienate folk expecting a more typical Who romp, and that children could find it boring. I was expecting low eighties, maybe only in the seventies... And, not a bit of it! I think RTD's gamble paid off. Regards, Cypher |

Those are only the overnights, I belive. The official average is rather higher than that.....
![]() OK then, the OFFICIAL average so far is 7.7m (this is for the first 8 episodes). The overnight average of 7.0m is for episodes 1-10. Official figures for eps 9 & 10 will be out on Wednesday and a week on Wednesday respectively.

![]() To be fair to SITL, it still did pretty well considering what it was up against, I suspect the BBC were more pleased with the figures for SITL than FOTD in a way... |

Series 3 vs series 4 final ratings(excluding Christmas specials):
***** series 3 series 4 episode 1 - 8.71 :9.14 episode 2 - 7.23 : 9.04 episode 3 - 8.41* : 7.5 episode 4 - 6.69 :7.06 episode 5 - 6.96 : 6.53 episode 6 - 7.19 :7.33 episode 7 - 7.41 : 8.41 episode 8 - 7.74: 6.27 episode 9 - 7.21 :7.84 Average - 7.51 :7.68 *Gridlock was shown at 7.40pm Interesting to note that in spite of all the angsting about the issue, series 4 continues to average higher figures than series 3. Only three episodes from series 3 have ratings higher than their counter parts from series 4, and in two of those instances, there are other factors which have played a part in this being the case (Gridlocks substantially later start time, SITL being on against the BGT final). eta: given that the final rating for episode 10 in series 3 was 6.62, while the overnights for episode 10 of series 4 were 7.3 million (liable to be close to 8 million once finalised), the gap is liable to continue to grow between the two. |

As long as the 2-part finale performs well, this series could average better than all the other series' (1-3).

Final ratings of 8.05 million for 'Midnight'
To put that in contxt, the final rating for Blink was (the equivilant episode last year) was 6.62 million, which shows how this series continues to attract higher audiences on average than last series, as follows: Series 3 vs series 4 final ratings(excluding Christmas specials): ***** series 3 series 4 episode 1 - 8.71 :9.14 episode 2 - 7.23 : 9.04 episode 3 - 8.41 : 7.5 episode 4 - 6.69 :7.06 episode 5 - 6.96 : 6.53 episode 6 - 7.19 :7.33 episode 7 - 7.41 : 8.41 episode 8 - 7.74: 6.27 episode 9 - 7.21 :7.84 episode 10 - 6.62:8.05 Average ---- 7.42: 7.72 So that makes it 7/10 episodes from series 4 having higher final viewing figures than series 3 at this point, and averaging 300,000 viewers more per episode. |

Excellent, thanks Muttley. Great to see the great ratings for what has been a fantastic series so far.
Anyone know what the competiton is on the other channels for the final two episodes? Im hoping we might see it hit 10m with the return of everyone

![]() In terms of what the opposition is, well this week ITV have kind of rolled over - there's a fairly week film on until 7.30pm ('racing stripes') and then You've Been Framed until 8pm. Not sure for the following week, but I expect it will be much the same. |

I think 10 million is unlikely. The viewing figures for most programmes have been down across the board in the last couple of weeks (the soaps especially), so Doctor Who has performed amazingly well to maintain such strong viewing figures. My hunch is that while it may well top the final figures of last years finale (8.61 million), 9.2 million is the highest that would be possible (and I'd be happy with anything over 8.5 million).

And 1.068m for the BBC3 Sunday night showing; making it the second-most watched non-terrestrial show of the week.
It is pretty amazing that four series in and the series is getting more popular and not less. Let's hope the break next year doesn't dull the momentum. (One reason I'm hoping for a new Doctor & Companion in 2010 is that it'll let them completely relaunch the series again.) |

Here's the same comparison but with the adjusted weekly reach figures instead - looks even more impressive. In brackets are the weekly reach figures for series four with iPlayer added in as well (which may or may not be fair bearing in mind series three didn't have iPlayer).
***** series 3 series 4 episode 1 - 10.04 :11.17 (11.68) episode 2 - 8.72 : 10.53 (10.94) episode 3 - 9.51 : 9.34 (9.73) episode 4 - 8.19 :8.55 (9.03) episode 5 - 8.29 : 8.05 (8.50) episode 6 - 8.12 :8.74 (9.27) episode 7 - 8.53 : 9.80 (10.22) episode 8 - 8.91: 8.11 (8.67) episode 9 - 8.25 :8.95 (9.36) episode 10 - 7.69:9.34 (9.75) Average ---- 8.63: 9.26 (9.71) |
