With just a few minutes to go before Dinosaurs on a Spaceship premieres on BBC1, here's a quick roundup of the videos released online to promote the episode over the course of the last week:

That Robot and Robot Look ...:

In addition the BBC announced two additional cast members today, comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb, who will provide the voice of the two robots in the episode - the former of which keen listeners recognised in the trailer!

Executive producer Caroline Skinner said: "We were thrilled to have David Mitchell and Robert Webb on board. It's a huge adventure, a real no-holds-barred belter of an episode and having them voice these two incredible-looking robots was just perfect. It makes them funny and chilling and… But I can’t say too much now except we’re all delighted with the episode!"

The BBC has released two 40 second preview clips for this Saturday's episode, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.

Doctor Who: Asylum of the Daleks had an Appreciation Index score of 89 - the highest score by far on either of the main two channels on Saturday night.

The score is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the episode. It is based of a survey of 5000 people. The score of 89 is the highest achieved by Doctor Who since The Big Bang in 2010. It is the highest ever AI score for a season opener.

A prequel to Asylum of the Daleks written by Steven Moffat has been made available to season pass subscribers on the North American iTunes store and Amazon Instant Video. The prequel can also be found on YouTube via unofficial sources.
Dalek operator, Barnaby Edwards, plays the mysterious hooded stranger who informs the Doctor - via a dream message - that his help is required and that he must meet Darla Von Karlsen on Skaro.

The synopsis for the prequel is:

Asylum of the Daleks had an overnight audience of 6.4 million viewers, a share of 29.3% of the total TV audience.

The audience was steady throughout the show after inheriting 2.5 million viewers from Total Wipeout. The show following Doctor Who, The National Lottery, had 3.1 million watching.

Doctor Who won the time-slot, beating Ant and Dec's game show, Red or Black?, which got a rating of 3.5 million and was 6th for the day. Winner of the day was The X Factor, which had an audience of 8.6 million and a 36.8% share of the audience, making Doctor Who second in the charts for the day.

Casualty was third with 4.2 million watching. Channel 4 achieved 9th place with their coverage of Paralympic Games 2012, while BBC Two peaked in 17th place with Dad's Army. Channel Five achieved 23rd place with Celebrity Big Brother.

Last year's Autumn season opener, Let's Kill Hitler, achieved 6.2m viewers (28.7% share) on overnight figures, later revised to 8.1 million on final figures. Night Terrors, shown the first weekend in September, had an overnight figure of 5.5m (25.9% share) and a final of 7.07m.

The only other episode to be transmitted on 1st September was the first episode of the 1979 story Destiny of the Daleks which had 13.00 million viewers, albeit in an environment where there were only three Television channels available, and one of those, ITV, was locked into a bitter strike which had blacked out screens since 10th August.

Overnight figures are an estimate of those who watched the programme live, or before 2am the following day. Final figures will include all those who watch the porgramme within a week and will be available early next week.

With one day to come, Doctor Who is currently 10th for the week.
