"Hell Bent" - Overnight Viewing Figures

The overnight viewing figures show that 4.80 million (21.5% share) tuned in for "Hell Bent" - that's an increase from last week's 4.51 million.  The figure is slightly inflated due to the fact that "Strictly" overran into the "Doctor Who" timeslot (a similar thing happened with "Heaven Sent" and "Face the Raven").

"Strictly Come Dancing" was, of course, top again with 10.50 million.

The consolidated figures will be released next week.
