That is around the time RTD 1 aired (series 1 was at 19:00), so not much surprise that it's a 18:30 slot the production team would prefer. Although, RTD 1 was in the other half of the year and never aired alongside Strictly.
In the Capaldi era though, it did air at 8ish after Strictly. You can make an argument that contributed to falling ratings or not.
