Time of the Doctor - Overnight Viewing Figures

The Time of the Doctor was watched by 8.29 million viewers, according to unofficial overnight figures.

Doctor Who was the second highest rated show of the day, achieving an audience share of 30.7% of the total available TV audience. It won its time slot, beating the old enemy Coronation Street which had 7.9 million watching. If +1 figures are included, Coronation Street rose to 8.27 million viewers, but still couldn't overtake Doctor Who.

Top for the day was the comedy Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas Special, which had 9.4 million viewers and a 35.5% share. However, when taking into account specific time slots rather than show averages, Doctor Who achieved the highest overall viewing figure of the day with 10.2m (37%) tuning in to see the regeneration.

The Doctor Who episode scored slightly higher than last year's episode, The Snowmen, which had 7.59 million overnight viewers and came fifth in the list.

The BBC Two afternoon repeat of An Adventure in Space and Time had 0.5 million viewers while the Doctor Who Prom had 0.6 million watching.
