It's me, isn't it.

The Ratings Thread wraps Series 8 in a nutshell.

"Doctor Who" has done amazingly well despite being in its eighth season since its return, above 7 million for its series average is good considering its almost been back a decade. Good to see it can consolidate so well. That type of consistency should be welcome at the BBC drama department, they will be hoping those 7 million viewers stay around for series 9. Its doing so well abroad too that the Doctor is safe from any extermination from the BBC for now.

I'm still getting a "Doctor Who is failing" vibe from several people on here - it's like these people are wanting the show to fail.

It's not failing: it still has a large core audience, it has an extremely high timeshift, and is successful in the other countries it is shown.

Some people on here exude so much negativity - I bet you're a joy to be around.
I think it's a case of several people projecting their dislikes. They didn't enjoy series 8; they don't like the 12th Doctor; they can't stand Steven Moffat. Naturally, they assume that because they don't like it, there's something drastically wrong with the show and viewers are switching off in their droves..... Trouble is, people are still watching in their droves!

October BBC Iplayer Report.


It includes the Top 20 programmes for September as well as no report was issued for that month due to issues with the data.

Thanks Corwin - good to see them at last

Also the final chart placing, which climbed for the final five consecutive weeks - http://images.doctorwhonews.net/image.php?pid=14601

The same thing no doubt happened with previous series but wasn't measured. Look at Live+7 for series 8 and compare to previous series to get a good comparison.

Interesting stuff. Cheers, Yog. The last 2 episodes obviously did well in the 7 day consolidated figures so assume their going to perform well in the 28 days figures too. It's all good.

Btw, have heard Series 8 did well on BBC America but haven't seen any figures. Any of you good people know how it did there compared to previous years?

The event episodes seem easier to find because they actually make headlines

Asylum of the Daleks: 1.55m
The Bells of St John: 2.01m
Day of The Doctor: 2.4m
Time of The Doctor: 2.47m
Deep Breath: 2.58m

It was breaking records in Australia & Canada, too, IIRC.

I'm very happy Doctor Who is still doing so well - across the world no less

A little fact is that renders the series average at an even healthier 7.59m.

The 28 day average or the 7 day average? The 7 day average is certainly not 7.5m.

I was referring to the 28 day, so far.

An "exceptional" 7.59m

Danny Cohen
"In this new world, we only know the total viewing for a programme after 30 days - and in the case of Doctor Who this means that the drama is performing exceptionally well."

Take that and party Broadcast magazine!

I imagine the BBC are rather pleased with that. And we haven't had the final 28 days figures for the whole series yet.

I imagine the Beeb will be rethinking their decision to commission a Series 9.

I did some quick stats about how Atlantis has been performing in DW's main slot - after Strictly, clashing with X-Factor, on overnights, and a final for Episode 1.

Atlantis Episode 1 - 4.20m (overnight) / 5.32m (Final)
DW: The Caretaker - 4.88m (overnight / 6.82m (Final)

Atlantis Episode 2 - 3.62m (overnight)
DW: Kill the Moon - 4.82m (overnight)

Now, Atlantis is a show that is genuinely struggling...!

It's the fact that it's DIRE... The production values are high and I love some of the characters but there's something about it that doesn't quite work, though I still enjoy watching... The fact that Alexander Siddig chose not to renew for the second season speaks volumes...

Didn't he run off to Game of Thrones instead? (All the better for it)

Atlantis continues to struggle in the same slot:

"Strictly Come Dancing secured more than 9.6 million viewers last night (Saturday, December 6), according to overnight figures. BBC One's dancing competition appealed to 9.68m (43%) from 7pm. It was followed by Atlantis, which drew 3.5m (15.8%)."

Although would the BBC consider 3.5m bad as an overnight?

Atlantis is doing worse than last year and consolidated is down on the overnights for last year. It's also lower than what Doctor Who got there a few weeks beforehand.

To be fair, it is rubbish.

DW would have been beating episodes of Coronation Street this week, by the sounds of things... and that's just on overnights
