New Years Day: BBC Three 7PM GMT - Voyage of the Damned (72 minutes, BBC Three premiere) Wednesday 2 January: France 4 8:45PM CET - The Shakespeare Code, French France 4 9:35PM CET - Gridlock, French Sunday 13 January: BBC Kids Canada 9PM EST/6PM PST - Sarah Jane Adventures - Invasion Of The Bane Saturday 26 January: Pro 7 Germany 5PM CET - Rose (German premiere) Saturday 9 February: BBC Prime 7PM CET - New Earth (start of new episodes) BBC Prime 7:45PM CET - DWC Cut Down - New New Doctor March or April: BBC One Saturdays 7ishPM - Doctor Who Series 4 - World Premiere |

Congratulations to Voyage of the Damned for the amazing ratings performance it had on Christmas Day. It averaged 12.2 million viewers (overnight rating) during its 72 minutes (peaking at 13.8 million in the last 15 minutes), number 2 for the day behind an episode of Eastenders and seems set to be one of the top rated UK shows of 2007, especially when timeshifted viewers are counted. It was the most watched episode of the new Doctor Who, toppling Rose from that perch. The most watched episode since installments of City Of Death in 1979, when there were 3 channels in the UK and one was not running programming due to a strike. The most watched episode where the other main channel was actually airing programmes since 1977 (The Robots Of Death). Full details on the Doctor Who News Page http://www.doctorwhonews.com . |
|
By the way, the Thursday 5PM BBC One encore of last year's Christmas Special (The Runaway Bride) averaged 3 million viewers (overnight rating), winning its timeslot. Certainly the highest rated repeat in the revival and probably since 1993 or before. |
|
The regular 4th Series of Doctor Who should begin in March or April (exact Saturday yet to be determined). It will have 13 episodes - with David Tennant and Catherine Tate as the regular cast, and Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones in 5 episodes (and some other familiar faces reappearing). After that, the Christmas 2008 episode, 3 "Special" episodes in 2009, and the 13 episode Series 5 comes in 2010. |
|
  |
Germany finally gets the new Doctor Who. Pro 7 http://www.prosieben.de purchased Series 1 and 2 years ago, and has now found room in their schedule for the adventures of the Time Lord. Rose will air on Saturday 26 January at 5PM CET. The rest of Series 1 and 2 will air at 2 episodes per week from 2 February. Here's hoping for a big splash with German audiences leading to a shorter lag time before Series 3 and 4 make it over. |
