I am afraid that this event is now well and truly full. I am sending out the very last tickets now, which will go off in Monday's post.
As with 'The Day of the Daleks' last year this has been massively over-subscribed and I regret that so many people have missed out again - unfortunately there are only so many places available.

The consolidated ratings for 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship', which includes those who recorded the programme and watched it in the week following, have been released. These reveal a final viewing figure of 7.57 million or 32% of the audience. This means the show added over 2 million viewers to the initial overnight figure of 5.5 million, and is a very good result.

'A Town Called Mercy' achieved overnight ratings of 6.6 million viewers or 29.1% of the TV watching audience, an increase of over 1 million on the previous week. Doctor Who came third after 'The X Factor' and 'Strictly Come Dancing', another good performance.
Consolidated ratings will follow in just over a week.

The consolidated ratings are available for 'Asylum of the Daleks'. Taking into account 'timeshift' viewing the show added almost 2 million viewers. The figure allowing for those who recorded and watched later was 8.33 million, putting Doctor Who in sixth place for the week.

On 30th September 2012 DWAS will hold a preview of forthcoming classic Doctor Who DVD releases. This will, like our event last year to celebrate the launch of 'Day of the Daleks' be at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London. Attendees will be able to see restored episodes from 'The Claws of Axos', 'The Ambassadors of Death' and 'The Reign of Terror'.
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship achieved overnight ratings of 5.5 million, representing 26.2% of the TV watching audience. This is 0.9 down on the season opener, or to put it another way, 3% of the audience share. Although lower it should also be noted that Doctor Who was the number 1 show on BBC 1 yesterday and number 2 over all the channels, being beaten only by The X Factor.
If you missed the full version of 'The Power of the Daleks' at Fareham on Satuday 1st, worry not as we will be showing the full version on the big cinema screen at Riverside Reflections on Sunday 21st October 2012. We are also pleased to welcome cast and crew members as guests.
The original version of 'The Power of the Daleks' was ofmcourse made at Riverside studio 1 in 1966.
