Doctor Who finally returned to screens last night with a double bill premiere on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and Disney+ worldwide.

The new season sees Ncuti Gatwa return as the Fifteenth Doctor, alongside Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, as they travel through time and space on adventures to unknown lands, to the Regency era in England, to outer space worlds and the sixties.

Due to the show’s new streaming-first release schedule, overnight ratings become even more irrelevant than they already are in 2024. For a start, these overnight figures do not include pre-transmission or devices, so viewers who watched on iPlayer in the 18 hours before it was shown on BBC One are not included. Another factor to consider was the warm weather and the time of year the show is airing.

Space Babies aired at 6:20pm BST on BBC One to an audience of 2.6m. The Devil’s Chord followed at 7:05pm with an audience of 2.4m. Consolidated figures, which will include pre-transmission and devices, are expected on Monday 20th May when these rather poor numbers are expected to rise considerably
