Third most viewed show on television, including number one scripted show, as well as being 1.5 million up on Whitaker/Chibnall? No denying that the refresh worked, at least to begin with. Now to see whether they only tuned in for Tennant, though...Also, worth remembering that - while these haven't reached the peak figures of the original Tennant-era - even Series 4 only averaged 8m. Considering the general decline in TV audiences over the last 15 years, the audience fall is pretty remarkably tiny.
