The Ghost Monument: Overnight Ratings

The Ghost Monument: Overnight Ratings

After last weekend’s record-breaking debut, Jodie Whittaker’s first Doctor Who series continues to perform strongly in the ratings. The second episode ‘The Ghost Monument’ premiered last night (October 14), and drew in an overnight audience of 7.1 million, according to the BBC’s Lizo Mzimba. While that’s a million less than last week’s premiere – ratings nearly always drop off after a series premiere – it’s still a pretty stellar draw for the show, proving that interest in the new Chris Chibnall series remains high. https://twitter.com/lizo_mzimba/status/1051754228039979008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1051754228039979008&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Ftv%2Fdoctor-who%2Fnews%2Fa868436%2Fdoctor-who-series-11-episode-2-ratings-ghost-monument%2F Last…
