Now that the time-shifted figures for "The Doctor Falls" are here's the averaged Ratings figures for Series 10 with the previous few years for comparison.
Series 10 Viewers: 5.64m Audience Share: 27% AI: 83 Chart Position: 20
Series 09 Viewers: 6.16m Audience Share: 25.5% AI: 83 Chart Position: 23
Series 08 Viewers: 7.34m Audience Share: 29% AI: 83 Chart Position: 13
Series 07 Viewers: 8.16m Audience Share: 33% AI: 86 Chart Position: 12
So from Matt Smith's last year to now 30% of the audience has gone and even taking into consideration the ever decreasing ratings for just about everything on television the Audience Share/Chart Position are noticably down. (Though Series 10 is up on Series 9 which would suggest this is a better time of year for the Series to air).
AI has dropped from being consistantly above averge (85) to consistantly below it, though without being able to see the actual audience reports there's no way of knowing if it's because of Capaldi or the scripts or what.

Mmm. And I suspect, unless the series changes quite a lot, it'll either stay where it is or go down.

But 27%, that's really good, isn't it? I don't know much about "the biz" and it's certainly down from Matt Smith but wouldn't most private broadcasters kill for that audience share?

But Doctor Who's incredibly expensive. And the amount watching is what they are paid for, not the percentage of viewers, so we should probably be focusing on what the budget is of the series compared to the viewers. |

The AI numbers aren't a true indicator though, according to DWM's Editor supposedly a different random group of 1000 viewers every year but the AI figures for all TV shows charted during Matt Smiths tenure were the same every year, be interesting to see how he sums it up for this year.
And also these ratings still doesn't include +28 Day or total Catch Up figures as one or the other should've been applied this year.
A overall breakdown of the series ratings and comparing with past series:
Full details of series 36/10 are now available.
The highest chart position was for The Pilot which came in at number 10. The lowest chart position was for The Lie Of The Land, which was the 30th most-watched programme of the week, having faced the final of ITV's talent show Britain's Got Talent.
All episodes since the revival of Doctor Who in 2005 have been one of the top 30 programmes of the week. This compares with the classic series where the lowest chart position was 170 for the second episode of the Fourth Doctor story Full Circle.
The Pilot is one of 57 episodes of Doctor Who to make the top 10 out of the 839 which have been broadcast.
The average final rating for this series is 5.45 million viewers, This is down from an average of 6.03 million for the 2015 series. The biggest drop in audience is for those in the 4-15 age group, which now account for around 8% of the total audience, as opposed to 11% in 2015. Since the revival the highest average has been for Series 4 shown in 2008, which had an average of 8.05 million watching.

So down in real number terms but still comparable to the other popular shows of the weeks during transmission (with only a couple just outside the Top 10)

Looks like all TV is down to me, with most kids and younger people using YouTube and Netflix to find their entertainment.

Pretty much, my lot watch stuff mainly on their laptop/tablets in their room, usually Netflix, Amazon or YouTube. Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are rare exceptions that bring everyone in front of the TV, Christmas Day Doctor Who too, but they are rare occassions. For the younger generation streaming and on demand downloads are the way of the world, so TV ratings are not the be all and end all they once were. |

Unfortunately, the final figures are worrying because the BBC get money on how many people watch in total, rather than per cent.

The current government actually pressure them not to use that funding to create big ratings hits as it's unfair to the private TV companies they all want directorships at when they leave government (allegedly). The BBC won't worry massively therefore about the ratings, but will worry if the overseas sales and merchandising are seeing a similar drop, as Doctor Who is one of their big money spinners. |

Crimson Fields was well received by viewers and critics. It was cancelled after one series. You can't have it both ways! |

Well series 11 is happening, Paul, along with further plans for up to an additional 4 series. Fortunately, the series is doing well enough for itself for further BBC interest. |

Not doing so well in the UK, though! |
