Record AI score for Sarah Jane

Monday, 2 November 2009 - Reported by Marcus
The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith received an AI score of 87 for Part One and 89 for Part Two. Both episodes got the highest AI scores on any of the main four channels for the two days.

The two scores are the highest received for the series which also received the highest viewing figures on BBC one at this timeslot for this year.

The Appreciation Index, or AI, is a measure of how much the audience liked the programme. It is a score out of 100, based on responses from a carefully selected panel including a large childrens section. The average score for children's television is 72. A score in excess of 85 is regarded as excellent while a score below 60 is poor.

Tennant boosts Sarah Jane's Ratings

Friday, 30 October 2009 - Reported by Marcus
David Tennant's arrival at Sarah Jane's wedding was watched by 1.3 million viewers according to unofficial overnight figures. With an audience share of 10.9% this is roughly double the usual audience for the show and more than three times what CBBC usually gets in this slot.

The rating is the highest by far that The Sarah Jane Adventures have achieved in this time slot. Series One was shown in a later time slot and got figures of around 1.4 million watching. The figures saw BBC One move into third place for this timeslot. Usually the ratings for children's TV are eclipsed by those watching the lifestyle programme on the other four main channels.

The programme was promoted on BBC Breakfast with an appearance from Elisabeth Sladen and Russell T Davies. For Sladen this was a return to studio TC7 in Television Centre. The studio Breakfast is broadcast from is the same studio in which she recorded stories such as Robot over 35 years ago.

Final figures will be released in around two weeks time.

The final part of the story will be shown in the UK this afternoon.

Final figures are now available for the first two programmes in Series Three. Prisoner of the Judoon had 0.73 million watching part one and 0.82 million watching part two. Final figures are more accurate then initial overnight estimates and include those who record the programme and view it within seven days.
