Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War - Official Ratings

BARB have published the official consolidated viewing figure for "A Good Man Goes To War", the seventh episode in the latest series of Doctor Who.

The episode was watched by a total of 7.51 million million viewers on BBC One, with a 31.0% share of the total TV audience.

The figure is again much higher than the initial overnight rating of 5.5 million viewers.

The consolidated data includes viewers who recorded the episode and watched it within 7 days.

The official figure does not include the BBC iPlayer, where over 1.2 million million watched the story within 7 days of transmission, the highest of the entire week. The Apprentice took the second place with 1.0 million.

Episode 7 was BBC One's 2nd most-watched programme of the week, and the 21st most-watched across all channels.

The top 19 places on the chart were taken by ITV, as the channel showed special editions of Britain's Got Talent and Coronation Street during the week. Doctor Who was narrowly beaten to the 20th place by The Apprentice which had 40,000 more viewers.

Episode 7 achieved an Appreciation Index of 88. An Appreciation Index is found by surveying a panel of around 5000 viewers to see what they thought of a particular programme. Is is a score out of 100, with the average BBC TV programme getting 80. A score of 85 or above is considered as "excellent".

In Australia, A Good Man Goes To War was the 3rd most-watched programme of the day with 815,000 viewers in the five capital cities. However this is only an overnight figure, which does not take regional, rural and time-shifted viewers into account.
