Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited had an Appreciation Index, or AI score of 85.

The AI is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the episode. The score puts the programme just inside the excellent category.

The score was the second highest on either of the main two channels for Saturday evening, with the Last Night of the Proms scoring highest.

With overnight figures now available for the whole week, Doctor Who finished 21st in the overnight charts. It should finish well within the top twenty when official ratings are issued next week.

Night Terrors had a final consolidated rating of 7.07 million viewers.

Consolidated figures include those who record and watch the programme within seven days. The final rating is much more accurate than the initial overnight figure and is based on the actual broadcast time of the programme rather than its scheduled time.

Up against Doctor Who, Red or Black achieved an average audience of 7.11 million viewers, although during the time the programmes were head to head Doctor Who outrated the game show.

A chart position will be released later this week when final figures from the whole week are available.

Night Terrors has debuted in Australia to solid ratings. TV Tonight reports that, up against the football finals on the commercial stations, the episode averaged 660,000 viewers in the five major capital cities. It was the top rating drama and the eight highest rating programme for the day overall (after the major news bulletins and the football finals). The corresponding Confidential Cutdown also rated a respectable 433,000 viewers in the five major capitals. These overnight figures, however, do not include regional, rural and time-shifted viewers and hence significantly understate the actual national ratings.

6.0 million watched Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited on Saturday according to unofficial overnight figures.

The the programme was up slightly on last week and with an audience share of 26.8% was the third highest rated show of the day.

Against Doctor Who, the Ant and Dec Game show, Red and Black, achieved just 4.6 million viewers, far below the aspirations ITV1 had for the show and 2 million down on the previous week.. Winner on the night was The X Factor which had 10.6 million watching. The launch of Strictly Come Dancing had an audience of 7.6 million viewers.

With one day to come Doctor Who is the eighteenth most watched programme of the week.

Doctor Who Confidential had an audience on BBC Three of 0.47 million viewers.

Official figures will be released next week by BARB with a place in the top ten perfectly possible.
