The BBC have uploaded the Graham Norton reference to Nortongate to their YouTube site.





The full programme, which features Karen Gillan as a guest, can be seen on BBC One Monday evening.

Victory of the Daleks has debuted in Australia to excellent ratings. TV Tonight reports that the episode averaged 915,000 viewers in the five major capital cities, despite stiff competition from the commercial networks including Masterchef Australia and the annual Logie Awards (the major Australian TV awards). The Daleks proved popular, with Doctor Who improving its ratings by 64,000 viewers from the previous week's episode. Again it was the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's top-rating program of the day, rating higher than its popular Sunday 7pm news. (By comparison, the final of the mini-series Burn Up only rated 375,000 viewers for the ABC in the following 8.30pm timeslot.) The corresponding Confidential Cutdown also rated a respectable 523,000 viewers in the five major capitals.

The BBC have released a trailer for The Vampires of Venice, on BBC One and BBC HD, Satuday 8th May, 6pm.

The BBC has reiterated its apology for the Nortongate incident, this time on the feedback programme Points of View. In a special programme presented from the BBC Election studio, four letters from viewers were read out along with the BBC official response which the presenter Jeremy Vine called a rare, unreserved apology. The whole programme is available on the BBC iPlayer.

Meanwhile The Sun reports that Graham Norton will poke fun on the incident as part of his BBC One show on Monday. The paper claims a Norton animation will dance on to the screen, followed by a Dalek who promptly blows him up. The programme features Karen Gillan as a guest.

BBC Australia have dubbed Saturday 12 – Monday 14 June as The Greatest Doctor Who Weekend of all Time, with UKTV screening 10 stories from the Ninth and Tenth Doctors.

The channel is asking viewers to vote for their favourite episodes in a competition on the UKTV website. Prizes include a weekend of pop culture in Melbourne with a double Gold pass to Armageddon Multimedia Expo on October 16 & 17 where you will have photos with media guests including the seventh Doctor!

The three Greatest Adventures documentaries, shown in the UK last summer, will also form part of the weekend as well as the first Doctor Who special shot in HD, Planet of the Dead.

Unofficial overnight figures show Flesh and Stone was watched by 6.9 million viewers with a share of 34.5% of the audience.

6.53 million watched on BBC One, where it was again the most watched programme of the evening, with an additional 0.34 million watching on BBC HD.

The audience on BBC One once more built throughout the episode to a peak of 7.15 million, before dropping by around 2 million as the episode finished.

Britain's Got Talent once more won the evening with 10.3 million watching.

With one day to come, Doctor Who is the twelfth most watched programme of the week so far, a position which should rise when final figures are calculated next week.

Press reviews for Flesh and Stone are appearing with The Telegraph praising it as a rollercoaster ride of thrills and spills. The reviewer is less sure about the final scene but feels quite a few viewers might have been rather jealous of the position Matt Smith was put in.

The Guardian says it was a classic episode, perhaps even the greatest episode of Doctor Who there has ever been, with an iconic sequence every couple of seconds.

Shadowlocked feels that Flesh and Stone wasn't able to repeat the creepiness of last week's encounter. although it praises some elements of the story it feels the story exited on a desperate note, and in a positive flurry of lucky chances.

Den of Geek calls it a blockbuster episode, a thrilling and really entertaining Saturday night adventure although the reviewer feels River Song was rather under used.

Anglotopia calls the episode hot, a perfect balance of fear, excitement, sadness and triumph.

Friday's BBC Three repeat of The Time of Angels was watched by 0.32 million viewers according to overnight figures. Doctor Who Confidential got 0.22 million watching.

The Daily Telegraph reports a renewed surge in popularity of bow ties thanks to Doctor Who. A spokesman for Topman says sales have shot up by 94% since The Eleventh Hour was aired. The Guild of Tiemakers chairman, John Miln, said he was pleased the unusual trend had been kicked off by the show.

Critic Charlie Brooker has continued his criticism of 'Nortongate', with a rant against the schedulers for the intrusion of the cartoon Graham Norton over last week's cliffhanger. He talked about the incident on his Channel 4 programme You Have Been Watching, calling it a travesty. The programme can be seen on 4oD.

Journalist Penny Andrews has written a long blog on the launch of Doctor Who - The Adventure Games in Sheffield last week, while TalkTalk spends five minutes in the company of Alex Kingston and TV.com asks what makes Doctor Who special.
