The overnight ratings for the Christmas special are in, and they are very good indeed.

Doctor who was watched by an average of 8.9 million people at the time of broadcast. This made it the third most popular programme of the day beaten only by EastEnders with 9.9 million and Coronation Street that managed a few more with 9.3 million viewers.

It has been announced by the BBC that Karen Gillen and Arthur Darvill will leave Doctor Who during the next series, and that a new companion will be cast. Steven Moffat said during a preview of this year's Christmas special that the story surrounding the departure of the characters would be a 'heartbreaking' one.

DWAS has been advised that the BBC intends to hold a one-off public screening of the two recently recovered episodes. When and when we do not yet know but are told that an announcement will be made soon.
