The BBC has released a new set of pictures from the next episode of Doctor Who - The Caretaker, which debuts next Saturday.
Written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat, and directed by Paul Murphy.

After receiving recent reports that the DVD of The Two Doctors no longer includes A Fix With Sontarans as an extra, we checked with BBC Worldwide over the status of the story's release and they have verified:


At the time of writing, online retailers such as the BBC Shop and Amazon still list the extra; purchasers of the story should verify which version they are buying as retailers may hold either version in stock at present.

Doctor Who Time Heist had an Audience Appreciation Index or AI score of 84.

The Appreciation Index or AI is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the programme. The score, out of a hundred, is compiled by a specially selected panel of around 5,000 people who go online and rate and comment on programmes.

Overall Doctor Who rated slightly higher with Women rather than Men and scored the highest within the 16-34 age group.

The X Factor once again topped the ratings for Sunday with 8.7 million viewers, while the return of Downton Abbey had 8.4 million viewers. Doctor Who is currently in 24th place for the week. Final figures will be published next week.

The Sunday repeat of Tim Heist on BBC Three had an overnight estimate of 0.24 million viewers, a 1.0% share of the audience.

Time Heist averaged 977,000 national viewers in Australia (these figures include the five major capital cities and regional and rural viewers). It was the second highest rating drama of the day (after The Code) and the tenth highest rating program of the day overall. Excluding regional and rural viewers, this story averaged 644,000 viewers in the five major Australian capital cities and was also the tenth highest rating program of the day overall in the big cities (again the second highest rating drama in the cities after The Code). These ratings do not include time shifted viewers.

7.01 million watched the UK transmission of Listen according to consolidated figures available today, which include those recording the programme and watching within one week of transmission.

The figure means no episode of Doctor Who this year has yet dipped below 7 million viewers on final figures.

The final chart position should be available later in the week.

4.93 million watched Doctor Who - Time Heist, according to unofficial overnight figures, a share of 23.8 % of the total TV audience.

Doctor Who was second for the day with ITV's The X Factor taking the lead with 8.4 million viewers. Doctor Who's direct opposition, The Chase: Celebrity Special, was third with 4.2 million watching. The Doctor Who lead in Pointless Celebrities had 3.9 million viewers, giving the programme a higher inheritance than last week.

Overall Doctor Who is currently 20th for the week.

Final figures will be released next Sunday.

Radio Times' gallery of free downloadable retro posters for the current series of Doctor Who continues to grow with the creation by designer Stuart Manning for Time Heist which airs tonight.

Manning said:
Time Heist will be broadcast at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Doctor Who - Deep Breath has a final Live+7 UK TV audience of 10.76 million viewers.

The Live+7 figure includes not only those who watch the BBC One broadcast and those who time-shift it, but also those who watch the repeats on other UK channels and those who watch the programme on i-Player. The total figure is an estimate of the total number of unique viewers, who have watched the episode on television, within one week on broadcast.

The Deep Breath figure was made up of

• 6.807 million - Watched Live or by delayed recording on the same day
• 0.456 million - watched a repeat
• 2.525 million - watched on Time-shift
• 0.971 million - watched on iPlayer

66% of the audience watched it Live or on the same day compared with a BBC average of 87%. 22% watched on time-shift where the average is 6%, and 9% watched on iPlayer compared to an average for all BBC programmes of 3%.

The figure does not include those who watched only at a cinema.
