According to my calculations, Series 8 averaged 8m in Live+7. Excluding the inflated number for 'Deep Breath' (as it's a New Doc ep so heightened interest) and the average for eps 2-12 is 7.75m.

Average for Series 9 is 6.71m so -1.04m (13%) excluding 'Deep Breath' or -1.29m (16.1%) including it.

Sure it's a loss, but what show hasn't lost upwards of 13%-16% of their audience year-on-year?
Dramas
Death in Paradise
Happy Valley
Line of Duty

Other Shows
Loads of them but most obviously Bake-Off

I disagree....


...they lost 100% of their audience in 2015.

Not DW related, but there has been a lot of discussion about the viewership of cake baking in this thread - so some rather incredible news on that front. The BBC can have the nation's most watched show and still bloody lose it thanks to corporate greed.

Indeed. If you'd told me in the early noughties that Who would not only return but carry on this long *and*, oh, yeah, it'll have a dozen Christmas Day specials, I'd be backing away slowly with a fixed grin and 'darting Hartnell eyes' looking for the nearest exit!

That's a decent rating in the context of the day and it could go up a few places in the Top 10 with the consolidated figures; think it'll go above Corrie anyway.

And if you'd told me *that* in the early noughties....etc

Off for a rewatch now!

Its good to see DW did well for itself.

But on another note, wow are viewing figures down these days, 7.7million is the highest for the day, and then most of the top ten are six fives and fours!.... what are people doing on Christmas day... what's taking peoples attention away, have games become more popular to do on Xmas, all the family playing, having goes ... Or have people suddenly become more social and are sitting around talking to each other directly rather than being around the TV, what are they talking about, Trump.... are families going for long walks.... braiding each others hair... reading books.... or are they just to busy taking selfies with each other to turn the TV on... What's going on Haha.

Saying that I'm one of the people who didn't bother with TV on the day, I only watched DW and that's it... and that was a delayed watch using the iplayer.

The decline of broadcast TV has left the UK with no replacement.

Music Hall>>Radio>>TV>>???

There's nothing really that worked the way TV worked.

Christmas Day ratings are low but we've seen some huge ratings this year with Bale Off, Strictly, I'm A Celebrity and Frozen Planet among others. Christmas seems to be a problem.

As much as the likes of Netflix and Amazon would like us to think otherwise the vast and overwhelming majority of the population still watch TV the normal way

AI of 82. Same as last year (and the year before) and in line with Series 9 as a whole.

It's because the tv companies churn out the same stuff every year, and people are bored of it. Christmas telly needs reinvigorating with some bold, fresh ideas.

Slightly down on last year's BBC America rating but still respectable.

Courtesy of the splendid Roscoe Barnes on the UK TV Ratings Thread;

Doctor Who +7 Consolidated: 7.83m (31.2%)

Eastenders got exactly the same, but a slightly lower share. CS got 8.1m. So Who is 6th for the day, I'd say. (Sorry, don't add the ITV add BBC Queen figures together. Off to the tower with me!)

eta Oliver in before me!

That's good stuff, I think. 7th for w/e 25th December, as the Monday episode of Corrie got 8.2m

edited again as the Sunday CS wasn't on the main list and I got confused!

The drop in Christmas viewing figures (across the board) started with Christmas 2014 - there's a whole load of articles about it. The overnights just collapsed, but the finals were all OK.

It seems that for the past few years, families have stopped watching so much TV on Christmas Day and are recording their shows and watching them later in the week.

Maybe there have been more family games for families to play at Christmas - we had that one this year where you put the plastic thing in your mouth.

9th. Remember the good-old-days™ when Doctor Who was the number one show on Christmas day, if you combined the figures from BBC HD, and topped the iPlayer for the month? Or was at least the second biggest Christmas Day show, which ever way you looked at it.

Looking at this bar chart, it appears Christmas specials have been in decline since Moffat took over, with a spike to see Capaldi's arrival, the return of Gallifrey (off the back of End of Time) and possibly curiosity over the regeneration limit. And the general hype surrounding the 50th anniversary episode.

Then people got to see Capaldi in action in series 8 and...

Yes, there's a decline. But it's reflected in the general trend of a decline in TV viewing:

Quote from This item.

"Christmas Day TV audiences have been in steady decline over the past few decades. No programme has won more than 20 million viewers since 2001, and 15 million has not been reached since 2008."

None of which is relevant to my first paragraph. Doctor Who used to have a higher audience share and was top of the iPlayer for the months it was on air.
