Taking into account ITV+1 figures the chart alters slightly, but does not impact Doctor Who's position:
10.64m The X Factor ITV 30 Aug 8:00pm [8:05pm] 10.25m The Great British Bake Off BBC1 27 Aug 8:00pm 9.53m The X Factor ITV 31 Aug 8:00pm [7:58pm] 8.07m Coronation Street ITV 25 Aug 7:30pm [7:32pm] 8.02m Coronation Street ITV 27 Aug 7:30pm [7:31pm] 7.96m Coronation Steeet ITV 29 Aug 7:30pm [7:31pm] 7.94m Coronation Street ITV 25 Aug 8:30pm 7.78m Coronation Street ITV 29 Aug 8:30pm 7.29m Doctor Who BBC1 30 Aug 7:30pm [7:29pm] 6.82m Eastenders BBC1 25 Aug 8:00pm
BBC Live+Same Day: 5.16m; Repeat: 0.40m; Time-Shift: 2.21m; iPlayer: 0.50m; Live+7 Total: 8.26m
The Live+7 figure is calculated by the BBC to try to get an accurate estimate of the total unique audience for an episode of a programme. Unlike official BARB figures the Live+7 uses data to include those who watched one of the broadcast repeats of the episode and those who watched the episode on iPlayer all within 7 days of the original transmission.
The BBC's iPlayer performance figures reported that the episode was requested 845,000 times to the end of the month, making it the seventeenth most requested programme in September (the figure does not include requests via Virgin Media or Sky). Note: this figure does not include the request made for the last two days of August, which do not feature in that month's report (less than 801,000); based on other episodes in this series it is expected to have been between 1.2-1.4m.

DRAMA OF THE WEEK Tonight, the Doctor must enter the most dangerous place in the universe - along with a band of soldiers he is miniaturised and put inside a sickly Dalek. It isn't the first time Doctor Who has plundered the Raquel Welch movie Fantastic Voyage (Tom Baker's Doctor went inside his own head in 1977), but this is a journey into the heart of darkness, where the Time Lord hopes to heal old wounds but ends up facing unpleasant truths about himself. There are plenty of stunning visual effects for the young ones, and a spark of romance. Back on Earth, Clara takes a shine to a newcomer at her school, Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson). But this is oh so welcome, distilled to match Peter Capaldi's Scotch-on-the-rocks Doctor - chilly, stinging on the palate but warming on the way down. |
