Doctor Who's series finale, The Wedding of River Song, received a final audience figure of 7.67 million viewers, according to official statistics released by BARB this week; with 6.1 million reported for the initial broadcast, the episode's audience increased by an additional 26% over the course of the week.
The Wedding of River Song has debuted in Australia to strong ratings. TV Tonight reports that the episode averaged 708,000 viewers in the five major capital cities. It was the second highest rating drama and the sixth highest rating programme for the day overall. The corresponding Confidential Cutdown rated 488,000 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.
