The initial audience for 'Listen' on BBC1 Saturday 14th September, was 4.8 million viewers or 23.5% of the audience. The actuals numbers are a little down from last week, although the audience share is only slightly changed and the lower number thus represents a smaller TV attaching audience yesterday.

The next episode of Doctor Who, 'Listen' airs in the UK very shortly, and worldwide soon after. As always, your views are sought. This week, we will draw from the hat of those who send us their views, two names to win a copy of the 12th Doctor hardback 'Silhouette' by Justin Richards. Everyone is welcome to enter, UK or non-UK, member or non- member.

The consolidated ratings for 'Inside the Dalek' have been released. These include those who watched in the first seven days after the initial UK broadcast.

It is very much a case of 'no change' in the overnight numbers for the UK.

Thank you for your comments about 'Deep Breath', last week. Surprisingly there were not that many of them, so it would be great to get more reactions from members and other fans this time round.

I guess we all know that anyway - but on BBC1 in the UK 'Doctor Who' was, in terms of numbers, yesterday's most popular programme, and is currently the most popular programme for the whole week.

The overnight audience was 6.8 million which represents a 32.5% audience share. The next closest programme was Casualty with 4.2 million.
