Doctor Who - Season 7 Premiere breaks BBC America's Ratings Records

Sep 5, 2012

Share on Reddit
The Brit sci-fi series just delivered its most-watched telecast ever on BBC America for its latest season premiere. The Saturday telecast was seen by 1.6 million viewers, which is both a time period high and a series best for the show since it started airing on the network in 2009. Not bad for a program that’s nearly four decades old (if you count its various incarnations). Doctor Who, which also recently enjoyed an Entertainment Weekly cover story (not that we’re taking credit or anything), was up 23 percent from its 2011 premiere.

    It has been a good few weeks for BBCA. Both Doctor Who and Copper are doing great for the network.

    That's great! Even thought it's FIVE decades now (I just began watching some of the 1st Doctor's episodes... they're worth watching!)

    Good news of sorts, but 1.6 million people in a country of over 300 million people doesnt seem impressive...? That equates to 0.53% of the population? I know many will watch on other platforms to catch up later, even so, I don't imagine that giving a large increase.

    Although that said, I'm sure it was up against tough competition. There's very little to look forward to on a Saturday night in the UK!
