Series average [After 5 episodes ] : 7.54m
Does anybody understand how depressing it is to lose so many sci-fi shows over the years to ratings and then see DW "performing poorly" with 5m -> 7m viewers

A glimpse over the landscape, thanks to the UK Ratings Thread...
Downton Abbey is down 1.5m on last series. X Factor is down 1.3m on last series. Strictly is down 93k on last series. Doctor Who is up 28k on the nearest "sixth-episode" slot (The Crimson Horror) |

Just saying, Downton Abbey is down 1.5m compared to its second episode of last year. DW is extremely stable in comparison.
EDIT: Ahh you beat me CD93. XD |

Ha! Sorry ![]() The Caretaker had an AI score of 83. Quote:
Overall Doctor Who rated slightly higher with Women rather than Men and scored the highest within the 16-54 age group.
The Sunday repeat of The Caretaker on BBC Three had an overnight estimate of 0.27 million viewers |

AI for the Caretaker is 83. S8 is consistent but low in the AI compared to the previous 3 series (which averaged 86-87).

Why is a show about people making cakes so popular?

RATINGS UPDATE!
Live + VOSDAL: 4.894m + Day 1: 5.905m + Day 2: 6.236m A quick estimate of the time adjustment would suggest a small increase of 31k on top of the above figures |

If modern trends have been embraced by the singles chart (which now including streaming factored in), then I don't know why TV ratings are so slow to include iPlayer. Is it because the BBC probably dominate it compared to ITV player and 4OD etc and the other channels don't want to look bad or something?!

I think when placing Doctor Who in the list of 'most watched TV shows of the week' its important to include shows with multiple episodes just once. So - as an example - Eastenders only appears once rather than five times.
I think it givers a clearer pictures as to the most popular shows. The newspapers adopted this method in the late eighties/early nineties when they would do the top ten shows and most of that was just Eastenders and Coronation Street. |

It's pretty obvious that the BBC's scheduling for Doctor Who reflects the habit of it's audience to 'time shift' it. Why show it prime-time when so many people watch it at their leisure?

Expanded: Quote:
A Christmas Carol had a live audience of 8.64m (12.11m consolidated). But since A Christmas Carol, only two episodes have managed over 7 million viewers live. They are The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (7.15m) and The Day of the Doctor (7.90m). The only other episodes to have had over 5 million live over that period are Let's Kill Hitler (5.02m), A Town Called Mercy (5.21m), The Snowmen (5.74m), The Time of the Doctor (6.19m) and Deep Breath (5.15m). From Tom Spilsbury of all people. Really shows the developing landscape... from when "New Who" was actually new and hit 7m live viewers, weekly. That was the way to watch television.
Day of the Moon (3.38m) remains the lowest live audience for Doctor Who ever (excepting Battlefield Part One, which had 3.1m, of course). In the 2013 run of eight episodes, only The Bells of Saint John (4.43m) and The Name of the Doctor (4.07m) managed over 4m live viewers, with The Crimson Horror managing just 3.40m. |

How does the BBC calculate views in other markets?
77 million was the quoted global reach, but I'm not sure how they got that figure. |

I've never understood the claim that watching it on catch-up rather than live reflects badly on the show. Surely if anything it's the other way around? Most families sit down on a Saturday night and stick on whatever trash is on, only committed fans and people who actually like to watch Who will go to the bother of time-shifting to watch the show (assuming that a lot of people actually don't have time to watch on Saturday nights). Plus, X-Factor is the sort of show that can't be watched on-demand if you want to vote, especially with the show on Sundays as well, whereas Who doesn't have this issue.
I'm sure I'm just rehashing old arguments but still... |

I'm sure I'm just rehashing old arguments but still... When SCD and X-Factor start in the autumn, that blast radius extends into the weekend. I would imagine - hope - I am not alone

It has all gone a bit boring, business as usual stuff after losing the 7m streak :P
Oh well. Boring is good. Means you can care so I don't have to
