Doctor Who beats Ant & Dec!
According to the BBC, Doctor Who is a ratings success! Garnering an average of 9.9 million viewers with a peak of 10.5 million, the newest incarnation of our favourite show beat ITV’s offering, Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeway, convincingly. The rival show pulled in an average of 7.2 million viewers, peaking at 8.5 million.
This is the extremely good news. Not only does it mean that the BBC have finally won the Saturday night ratings battle, it also means that Doctor Who will almost certainly be renewed for a second season.
Guess I was wrong to have any doubts about how well the new series would do. I should have had more faith in the Great British public
If you haven’t already been celebrating the return of the good Doctor, now’s a very good time to start.

Anyone have any money riding on it at Ladbrokes?

No, but I wish I had - in the Outpost Gallifrey thread asking people to predict the ratings a few weeks ago I guessed 9.9 million! My hat-trick of correct predictions is now complete. I’m now off to City TV to propose myself as a candidate for a new series of The Amazing Kreskin.

Yep, I had £20.00 on it!

That’s eerie Luca, maybe your time-sensitive? Got any predictions for World Cup Qualifiers?
