Yes, 5.9M is the overnight viewer rating, which is 400,000 more than your pathetic prediction a few weeks ago. 5.9M in the UK is more than 1 in 4 TV sets tuned to this one show. I predict when the weekly viewing figures come in it will top 9 million viewers.

Sorry, my usenet provider automatically CC's my newsgroup posts via emails to idiots that don't spoof their email address on usenet. It also CC's those that request their posts not be archived and instead be removed within 6 days of posting. I guess my usenet provider wants to be sure you see my responses. <shrugs>

Ah, if only that were true. It's a pleasant thought. Unfortunately,
DW was still the most watched program on the BBC that night. Which
means we'll probably have to wait until after Casualty, the Lottery,
Total Wipeout, the News, etc. are all cancelled first.

Oh well, so much for wishful thinking...

The one fact that about viewer habits that we can get from the
figures, is that DW's overnight ratings seem to almost entirely depend
on which gameshows its scheduled after or against, and not on DW
itself.

It got it's highest overnight figures this season when it followed
immediately after the popular Strictly Come Dancing, inheriting the
audience from that show.

And it gets lower figures when it follows less popular shows like
Total Wipeout and when it's scheduled opposite an important X-Factor
round like "boot camp" or "judges' houses" (even if the clash is only
5 or 10 minutes).

This suggests that DW is not the sort of must-see program that
controls the ratings the way gameshows do. (Even if people do catch
up with DW later, the fact that they choose to watch X-Factor right
away on broadcast and delay watching DW until some other time, makes
it clear which of the two they think is the more important.)

So, despite its ratings being actually pretty good for a light-hearted
sci-fi show, DW is still punching way below its weight compared to the
competition.

I have a feeling that things could improve if they replaced the current
Doctor, Matt Smith, with someone else (sorry Matt fans). I can't take
Doctor Who seriously anymore. When Matt is faced with danger he still
seemed to be his happy self.

If you haven't watched it how do you know if it is any good?

80% of Gallifrey Base members rate it 8/10 or better

"But all that is in the future, The Angels Take Manhattan brought this
mini-run of the series to a close with easily the best episode of the
five: a powerful, taut, compelling, filmic, emotionally punchy affair
which re-established the Angels as one of the standout monsters of the
series and gave Amy Pond a fine send off."
Daily Telegraph

"Ultimately, The Angels Take Manhattan succeeded in an already uphill
battle by honing in on the romanticism of the Ponds' connection to the
Whoniverse and each other, bringing Amelia's journey full circle with
a flurry of poignant touches, and definitively writing them out in the
most bittersweet way imaginable.
As far as final pages go, it's one we're happy to leave unripped."
IGN review



"THE VERDICT Thank God the departure of Amy and Rory was delivered
with such gutwrenching emotion, because the dramatic clout of their
bittersweet exit from the show distracted you from the fact that this
was a bit of a multi-“Huh?!” episode. On one level it’s a glorious,
daring, gutsy, high-concept and hugely entertaining slice of Who, with
individual moments of the show at its best: creepy, funny and visually
arresting. On another level, it’s downright baffling…"
SFX


"Doctor Who's final episode 'til the festive season is easily the
equal of that hugely impressive opener. Is it perfect? Perhaps not -
but it did leave us feeling both moved and almost entirely satisfied.

Moffat faced an uphill struggle here, and while it would be easy to
split hairs based on individual preference, with all things
considered, 'The Angels Take Manhattan' remains a great piece of
work."
Digital Spy


"As a farewell to the Ponds, though, “The Angels Take Manhattan” was
damn fine television."

>Is it true that both the Bimbo and the Drip are dead? If so,

these are the changes from overnights to final figures:

7.1 - 6.4m to 8.33m
7.2 - 5.5m to 7.57m
7.3 - 6.6m to 8.42m 33.4% audience Share
7.4 - 5.5m to 7.67m

So you can expect the finale to get close to 8m, if that is a failure
what on earth would you call a success? The only BBC programmers to
compete with those kind of ratings are New Tricks and Eastenders (DW
every week beat at least 1 ep of EE) while the likes of Holby and
Casualty are getting literally millions of viewers less and I don't
see any clamor for those to be cancelled...

[The Laughing Dalek]

Like it or not the reality gameshows are far far more popular than not
just DW but pretty much any drama so comparing like with like in
dramka DW is very popular, only New Tricks and Downtown Abby beat it
and they have distintly better slots.

Maybe the Weeping Angels are so scary that parents are not letting their
kids watch Doctor Who? However, there was no way that DW was going to
win against X-Factor last week.

I don't have any problem with someone saying I like this Doctor more

one's. We all have our likes and dislikes. But if someone is the kind

The weeping angels is due to be shown on New Zealand TV this week (we are a
bit behind). But it seems to me that this story has been repeated if its
the don't look at the statues as you will be turned to stone...at least
from the preview it looks like a repeated story.

They need to introduce something new such as the robot dog, K9, was a
successful idea. The sonic screw driver was also good but its getting a bit
old and seems to be too good to be believable as it seems to be the only
thing to solve difficult problems.

Some things don't make much sense such as the in a recent episode the girl
puts heart electrodes on his chest to bring the doctor back to life and
when she successfully revives him the first thing he says to her is "don't
do that again".
Maybe she should have let the doctor die and he could have changed into a
different person.

Yep, all three of us will be watching. ;-)

Actually, my mother said yesterday that one of the young women at work
said she will be recording the next episode to watch when she's not alone
because the Weeping Angels are too scary to watch by herself.

It's the last episode this up-coming Thursday. After that the timeslot
gets taken over by the new season of Downton Abbey. Yawn!

[Brian]

Most of my friends what it. At the moment there is not a lot of science
fiction on New Zealand TV and it makes a change to have British Sci-Fi on
TV.
I've heard the series 6 of the new Doctor Who was popular as I keep hearing
of people that have brought this series on DVD.

The other British Sci-Fi series I enjoyed was Sapphire and Steel. Good
stories, good acting and I love the suspense.

They are reverse-gorgons, true. I am thinking now that Earth-based
weeping angels are far weaker than those ridiculously-overpowered ones
we saw in their second appearance:
- they _killed_ you if you looked them in the eye or watched a video of them
- they could steal the voice/memories of their dead victims and enjoyed
torturing future victims with this
- they are immune to the futuristic weaponry and can drain energy from
everything so that artificial lighting is extinguished
- they only lost because the whole universe was being destroyed

Pond running around with her eyes closed, about to be murdered by a
mocking angel in her head, is one of the most scariest moments in Doctor
Who history and could well have made 20% of the British audience decide
to give the show a miss.

Earth-based angels can apparently be defeated by a guy with a
sledgehammer and only send people back in time! There is nothing to be
scared of, New Zealanders!

Merlin got 5.49 million viewers for Arthur's Bane (Part 1) on Saturday night
