April 15th Series 28 Starts on BBC1

I got my TV Guide for next week TV (10th - 14th April) and next weeks guide which covers (15th - 21st April) said - Doctor Who returns.

Well as Doctor Who use to air on a Saturday - I am going to assume its the 15th April.

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, if it has let me know and I'll get a mod to lock this thread

WooHoo, I'm actually going to be off this time, I'm not going to have to lipread off the soundless works TV

[Metarock Sam]

For Rose & The End of the World:

US Debut Ratings
TV Series NewsMarch 22, 2006
According to information from the programming department of the Sci-Fi Channel, Doctor Who did well its first night in broadcast. 1.58 million viewers tuned in to watch "Rose," says the report, with 1.61 million viewers watching "The End of the World" and .78 million viewers each watching "Rose" and "The End of the World" in their 11pm and 12am repeat slots. These numbers are somewhat lower than the standard viewing the channel received for its broadcasts of its original series "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Battlestar Galactica" in the same time slots, but higher than any broadcast of syndicated series that evening (including repeats of "Firefly" and "John Doe"). Final numbers including Nielsen rankings should be available within the next week or two.

For The Unquiet Dead

Doctor Who on the Sci Fi Channel delivered a 1.27 rating with an audience of 1.55 million viewers for The Unquiet Dead last Friday on its first-run in America. Compared to last week's episodes, the latest episode was up 13% with men ages 18-49 -- a key demographic of importance to the channel -- and up 12% with total viewers ages 18-49, but was down approximately 20% on its household rating (the actual ratings number reported). Sci Fi was expected to lose some viewership after its original opening night broadcast and future weeks will determine if the ratings numbers have stabilized.

For Aliens of London:

Ratings for the broadcast of Doctor Who's fourth new episode, Aliens of London on Sci-Fi, its first US transmission, on March 31 are in. The episode had a 1.20 household rating with an average viewing audience of 1.5 million viewers, a slight drop from the previous week of 1.55 recorded for "The Unquiet Dead". The latest episode was down across the board; the show has experienced a total loss of 21% of household viewers and 16% in audience average since the first episode's transmission, although this was expected because of the curiosity from the episode's first broadcast. Meanwhile, for the rebroadcast of "The Unquiet Dead" immediately prior, 0.65 million viewers tuned in.

So I guess The UNIT site is pretty much nothing to look at? Nothing but a goof? Then what kinda of Joke is that? A bad one at that!

[creed462]

I think its still doing well

[The Signal]

^it had clues to S1/27 I think. Oh, was there any new trailer this week, specifically for New Earth or are they depriving us of anything for the last week?

[Metarock Sam]

Well they have a Tardisode one wihch is a trailer for New Earth.

[The Signal]

Just thought I'd point out the new site design based on the next episode, along with a diagnosis system and scrolling computer code, with the odd "help me" thrown in for good messure

[Missster.Freeman]

QUICK! Everyone in the UK that's interested in Dr Who, turn over to BBC2 immediately. DT is on Ready, Steady Cook with his father. Just thought I'd share with you all.

[The Signal]

Thanks for the heads up (anyone think David has a wonky eye in my sig? Its from a BBC pic but something went weird when I resized it, unusual for Photoshop )

[Missster.Freeman]

His eye does seem slightly off. It sometimes happens when you constrain an image.

Okay, back to Ready, Steady Cook

[The Signal]

I think it just got exagerated. Anyhow, lol the chef keeps calling him Doctor
