[JMT1985]

Considering the hype I was expecting around 7/8m for the first ep tbh. 5m still somehow feels a bit underwhelming for what has been a hugely hyped event. 60th + Tennant + RTD!? 5m is obviously a huge improvement on last year but still, we are not quite back to 00’s blockbuster status yet. Not with linear overnights anyway.

This is the new TV world we live in - overnight views mean jack ... it is the seven day consolidated figure which is where we need to look at. 

People do not watch linear TV much now - that era is long gone, in fact it was starting to die under the 11th doctor's tenure.
