Last night’s episode was watched by 5.2 million (a 25.4% audience share) viewers in the UK on BBC1, according to early overnight viewing figures.
The overnight figures are early estimates and we can expect a sizeable increase when the final BARB figures are released next week. Unlike the overnights, the final figures also count those who recorded the show and watched it later, making them a more accurate measure of how many were watching.
The 2014 ratings so far:
Deep Breath 6.8m (overnight) 9.17m (final) AI 82
Into the Dalek 5.2m (overnight) TBC (final) AI 84
Robot of Sherwood 5.2m (overnight) TBC (final) AI TBC
(iPlayer figures are not included in the final figure)
(The Audience Appreciation Index (AI) is a score out of 100 which is used as an indicator of the public’s appreciation for a show.)
