To be fair, it is rubbish.
If only Atlantis were that good. It aspires to the level of crap and falls short!

Its like they found all the rejected 'Merlin' scripts and then did a search/replace on the names.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if the BBC did the same.

Overnights are SO last year!

There's a good write-up in the Guardian about the upcoming Christmas episode. Disappointing that it includes the following line: "The show lost viewers after it was moved later in the Saturday schedules to an 8.30pm slot to accommodate Strictly Come Dancing."

And anyway, aren't overnights really for the benefit of the advertisers [Live viewing, adverts etc...]

As the BBC do not show adverts, i can't see the point of the overnights and 'peaks!'

Funnily enough I think select BBC shows are the only pieces of television I still try to watch live. Though even things like The Apprentice, which build up "who will go this week" - I watch during the week when I have time, despite (mostly) enjoying them and wanting to know what happens.

I just have so little need to watch things when they first air. I go out of my way to make Doctor Who the exception, because it's still something I get all excited about when I know it's coming on

But the balance has skewed exceptionally, for me. Catch-up & streaming truly are my primary viewing habits now... and as we know through BARB, despite annual peaks during summer periods, live viewing is on the decline. It fell to it's lowest figure in October.

I don't see how this is going to reverse itself, so it will come down to how broadcasters choose to deal with it. The BBC has made it clear, this year especially, that they're looking further ahead (and over a broader landscape) than they ever have done... and it shows for Doctor Who, which is absurdly still pulling in such audiences. It's a testament to the brand... and it's rightfully being recognised.

Why not? It's about to be 2015.

Puts the average at a nice 7.62m if we were to count that!

Speaking of ratings, now that X-Factor's gone Atlantis's rating shot up by a million - 4.7m. If only it was DW not going up against XF, at that rate DW would have possibly seen overnights of 5.5-6.0+ consistently.

So 28 Day Consolidation at 7.62 & BBC's Live +7 at 8.31m.

Nice on both counts. The wait for the ratings crisis continues.

How can 28 days have more viewers than 7 days?

The BBC look wider for their "total unique audience." Breakdown here: http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2014/11...7-figures.html

Any festive predictions? The Ratings Thread appears to be expecting underwhelming figures across the board for Christmas Day.

Ermmm.....if we're talking overnights, and there isn't a great deal of competition, I'd be happy with about the 7m mark. Not sure whether that's optimistic or pessimistic, really! Then time shift like B*ggery.

Coronation Street only got 6.6 (including +1 so possibly lower than DW on just the main channel) so not a big disaster.

Lowest rated BBC One show out of the main evening ones and 2million down on last year. Not great news. On the other hand not disastrous in comparison to the shows around it.

I think it's an all right rating but nothing to write home about.

So Doctor Who the second lowest out of that list. Does anyone have a top-10?

This is the first year I didn't watch the episode on Christmas Day. When I do watch it, it'll be on the iPlayer using a desktop. Although when I got up early this morning and it was quiet(having not watched the latest episode last night) I did watch Resurrection of the Daleks! I notice I've been watching rather a lot of classic episodes this year. The new series just isn't doing it for me, even though I still have the desire for good new episodes.

The Queen's Speech was the most watched at 7.82m - LOL

Downton Abbey - 5.8m

Woah.

I know it's The Mirror but even they have picked up on the fact that...

This year's Christmas TV ratings were significantly down on last year when Mrs Brown's Boys drew 9.4 million viewers.

That's nothing. Liz 10's Christmas speech of 2873 got 27.3Bn viewers across the galaxy, despite the foul language!
