TV Whilst we're all still in denial about New Earth, at least we have the overnight ratings to look at. The raw data has been posted at Outpost Gallifrey:
Time ………. BBC1 ……………… ITV ……………… BBC2 ……………… CH4 ……………… CH5
19:15 ….. 7.8 (38.5%) ….. 4.8 (23.6%) ….. 1.9 ( 9.4%) ….. 0.9 ( 4.5%) ….. 1.0 ( 4.8%)
19:30 ….. 7.9 (38.4%) ….. 4.9 (23.6%) ….. 1.9 ( 9.2%) ….. 0.9 ( 4.3%) ….. 1.0 ( 4.9%)
19:45 ….. 8.3 (39.0%) ….. 4.9 (23.2%) ….. 2.0 ( 9.4%) ….. 0.9 ( 4.2%) ….. 1.2 ( 5.5%)
Which my C-grade GCSE Maths translates into ...
BBC One .... Doctor Who .......... 8 million (38.6% share)
BBC Two ..... Snooker .................. 1.9 million (9.3% share)
ITV1 .......... Harry Potter ........ 4.8 million (23.4% share)
Channel 4... The Passion (doc).......0.9 million (4.3% share)
Five ........... The Cowboys (film)... 1 million (5% share)
So a good result and something to build on. You know, I think last night's episode might have worked better with a family audience than the hardcore, in a similar way to Aliens of London, which I hated then but people seemed to respond to.
ITV1 have a new episode of Midsummer Murders scheduled opposite next week -- good family viewing (?)
Speaking of The Unquiet Dead, remember last year when BBC Four ran The Mystery of Charles Dickens later on that evening? They're doing something similar next week after Tooth and Claw with a showing of the film Mrs Brown at 8:30 once Doctor Who Confidential has finished. I wonder how much of the audience will work their way across the channels...
