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 1.364m times to the end of the month, making it the eighth most requested programme in October(the figure does not include requests via Virgin Media or Sky).

Arachnophobes everywhere will cringe in revulsion at the vicious and horribly convincing creatures pouncing from the shadows, while physicists may have a conniption at Kill The Moon's fantastical denouement. But hey, this is Doctor Who at its creepiest best and you can't fault the imagination and audacity of newbie writer Peter Harness, nor Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi for pushing the Doctor to the edge of darkness - and beyond.
