The Next Doctor's Overnight Ratings

By Mark
The picture above was made by me.
According to overnight ratings, last night's festive episode of Doctor Who was watched by 11.7 million people which gave the episode an audience share of 50.5%. The episode, The Next Doctor, was the second most watched programme of the day and the most watched episode of Doctor Who this year. Final figures for The Next Doctor will be released in ten days time by BARB and it's likely that they will be significantly higher than these overnight ratings. What do you think of the overnight ratings that The Next Doctor received?

    I watched it last night and have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed. I thought Tennant did a fine job as usual and David Morrissey turned out to be much better than I thought -- although it's clear now he won't be the "next Doctor" -- but the episode seemed just a bit, I don't know, worn out. Cybermen again? Really? Ah, well...at least no companions died a terrible death, were left in an alternative universe or had their memories wiped.

    Just stumbled on your blog. I like it, I'll be checking back from time to time to get DW news. Living n Canada I don't get too many updates on the show but I try. I have a similar blog you can check out if you'd like, I follow a wide selection of entertainment news and referred to your site for the numbers for the Christmas Special. http://moviesandtvcast.blogspot.com

    I really liked the episode, in response to the first comment I think it was about time that we saw the Cybermen again, every Christmas Special so far hasn't had one of The Doctor's big enemies and it was overdue, really liked Morrissey he reminded me a bit of Kenneth Branagh in The Chamber of Secrets. The only issue I had is that someone again wanted to change the way a robotic nemesis operates by giving them emotion. It's been covered a few times mostly with the Daleks. Overall though no complaints.
