Doctor Who: Recon, 30th September 2012

Our free-to-enter event, 'Doctor Who: Recon' takes place this Sunday at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.

Whilst our ticket allocation has been fully used, Riverside Studios may still have some available via their box office.

'A Town Called Mercy' Consolidated Ratings

The consolidated figures show that 'A Town Called Mercy' added 1.9 million viewers to the overnight result (taking into account those who recorded the show and watched it later). This gives the episode a total of 8.42 million viewers or 33.4% of the audience.

Doctor Who was in ninth place for the week. A very good result.

The Power of Three Overnight Ratings

The overnight ratings for 'The Power of Three' are available. These show that Doctor Who had an audience of 5.49 million or 25.6% of the audience. This is down 1.1 million or 3.5% on last week's episode. However Doctor Who is up one place in the Saturday chart - it was no 2 for the day being beaten only by 'The X Factor'. So a good result, especially in comparison with other shows.

Doctor Who: Recon

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.

'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship' consolidated ratings

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 ' Overnight Ratings

'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.

Asylum of the Daleks Consolidated Ratings

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.

Doctor Who Recon: 30th September 2012 ***updated***

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 Overnight Ratings

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.
