The 'fast-tracked'
Doctor Who continues its excellent ratings in Australia.
TV Tonight reports that
The Lodger averaged 983,000 viewers in the five major capital cities, again despite stiff competition from the commercial networks. This was 88,000 more viewers than the previous week and the program's best overnight ratings since 1.033 million Australian viewers watched
Matt Smith debut in
The Eleventh Hour. Yet again it was the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation's top-rating program of the day, rating higher than its popular Sunday 7pm news and
Little Dorrit, being the tenth highest rating program for the day overall. The corresponding
Confidential Cutdown also rated an excellent 664,000 viewers in the five major capitals.
