Doctor Who: Lux | Overnight Rating

Doctor Who continued on BBC One on Saturday 19th April with ‘Lux’ which scored overnight audience of 1.58m. The consolidated rating – which will include iPlayer, devices and catch-up, will be released w/c 28th April 2025.
It was BBC One’s fourth most watched programme of the day, behind BBC News, Casualty and Blankety Blank – with the latter ahead by a whisker. In the absence of Gladiators, Doctor Who inherited a third of the audience compared to last week’s lead-in, which set the tone for BBC One having an underwhelming night all round.
Overall, it was the eighth most-watched title of the day across all channels, with ITV winning the day with Britain’s Got Talent – Doctor Who’s direct competition with nearly two and a half times the audience – and The 1% Club, with 99 To Beat and An Evening With Elton John on ITV also just ahead of Doctor Who overall.
