Ratings Information:


Initial figures: 0.708m viewers (overnight), 6th place day

The figures above only include viewers in the metropolitan areas of Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. These are referred to as the "5 City Metro" ratings.

The Wedding of River Song has debuted in Australia to strong ratings. TV Tonight reports that the episode averaged 708,000 viewers in the five major capital cities. It was the second highest rating drama and the sixth highest rating programme for the day overall. The corresponding Confidential Cutdown rated 488,000 viewers in the five major capitals. These overnight figures, however, do not include regional, rural and time-shifted viewers and hence significantly understate the actual national ratings.
