    I am a huge fan of Dr Who or maybe I should say was…. this last ones.well I do not really know. They just don’t seem to care about it any more. The Story was just unbelievable and I am actually sick of all the kissing I do not care about that .if I want that I watch Big Brother!!
    Still hoping that it will pick up but I guess that a lot of parents will just switch off if it continues like this.

    8.9 Is very good, but its overnight ratings were something like 6.1 or 6.2 million which is terrible for the new/revived series. Is it true that series 6’s budget is allot lower than previous years?

    That’s amazing let’s hope this keeps up, I guess with the rise of DVR boxes and online catch up services, one can not truly trust over night viewing figure anymore , let’s try not to panic anymore like I have done LoL

    They really should include the iplayer results in numbers. Now I don’t bother watching on the TV (My computer screen is larger!) and just watch live online.

      Actually to use the iPlayer you do need to pay the lisence fee (as specified in the Terms and Conditions on the website). The difference is these ratings are not included in teh official BARB ratings as they cannot tell if someone has watched it multiple times and it would take the ratings far longer to come out.
