Doctor Who ratings - Episode 9
The season's official scariest episode airs, thanks to the Eurovision Song Contest, somewhat earlier at 6:30, when it is bright and non-scary outside. This helps bring the figures down to their lowest yet - beaten also by the FA Cup Final on that afternoon's Match of the Day. The share however is still at a reasonable 35% or so, which is better than some of the earlier episodes.
ITV put Celibiity Wrestling out of its misery this week and start a mini-season of films instead. Rumoured to be a showing of all the Star Wars films (that they have rights to) - it's only Episode 1 in fact. Still it does much better than the wrestling and gets into the Top 30.
