"Deep Breath" - Consolidated Viewing Figures

The consolidated viewing figures for "Deep Breath" give the episode a final rating of 9.17million - a 2.38million increase on the overnights of 6.79million.

"Deep Breath" is now the third highest rated season opener (after "Rose" and "The Eleventh Hour") since 2005.

Please note that this figures does NOT include those who watch on BBC iplayer through computers or tablets - and obviously does not include cinema showings.

"Into the Dalek" - Overnight Ratings

"Into the Dalek" achieved overnight figures of 5.2million - a 24.7% share of the audience.  The highest rated show of the night was, of course, "The X Factor" which managed 9.3million.

With "The X Factor" starting 30 minutes after "Doctor Who" it was good to see that the ratings for "Doctor Who" held firm and suffered no drop once "The X Factor" started.  However, approximately 2 million viewers turned over to ITV once "Doctor Who" finished.

Final figures will be released next week and should show a large increase in "Doctor Who" ratings.

The next "Doctor Who Extra" episode is up and, according to the BBC, should be available worldwide.  Obviously, I'd avoid it if you haven't actually seen "Into the Dalek" yet:

"Deep Breath" - Overnight Ratings

"Deep Breath" scored an overnight rating of 6.8million with a 32.5% share of the audience - which isn't bad for a bank holiday weekend at the end of the holiday season when figures are traditionally lower.  It was the most watched programme of the night by a country mile - it's closest rival was "Casualty" which had 4.2million.

Obviously this figure does not take into account cinema viewings or those who recorded it to watch later.  These consolidated figures will be released next week and will, no doubt, show a huge increase from 6.8million.
