Doctor Who: Let's Kill Hitler - Official Ratings

BARB have published the consolidated viewing figures for Doctor Who: Let's Kill Hitler.

Episode eight of this year's series was seen by 8.10 million viewers on BBC One/HD, with a 33.3% share of the audience. This figure made it the channel's sixth most-watched broadcast of the week, behind New Tricks and four episodes of EastEnders.

The rating is considerably higher than the initial overnight figure of 6.1 million.

Unlike the 'overnight' data, the official figures take into account viewers who record the episode and watch it within seven days of transmission.

The official figure does not include viewing data from the BBC iPlayer, where over 1 million have watched the story. It was the most accessed programme of August, despite it only being available for the last four days of the month.

Let's Kill Hitler achieved an appreciation index of 85. 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 between 85 and 89 is considered as "excellent".

In Australia, Let's Kill Hitler was the fourth most-watched programme of the day with 792,000 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.
