On 9 January 1965, Desperate Measures, episode 2 of The Rescue, was watched by a record audience of 13.0 million. The AI of 59 was excellent for the era.
Then in 1971, episode 2 of Terror of the Austin's was watched by an improved 8.0 million people.

It's a day of episode 2's today.
On 10 January 1970, 8.1 million tuned in to Spearhead from Space.
In 1976, 9.3m were watching Brain of Morbius.
And in 1981, 7.7m watched Warrior's Gate.
No AI's recorded for any of these episodes.

11 Jan 1964 and audience numbers continue to climb. The Ambush, episode 4 of The Daleks, is now up to 9.9 million, with an AI of 63. That's 50% up on the beginning of the story.
1969 is another story. The Krotons is rapidly running out of steam, with the audience for episode 3 dropping to 7.5m, and the AI a decent 56.
In 1975, Robot episode 3 is also suffering a little slump, down to 10.1m now the new Doctor novelty has worn off. Will this Baker guy stand the test of time I wonder?
1982, and Davison is heading in the opposite direction. Episode 3 of Castrovalva drew an impressive 10.2m, quite a step up from the previous week.
Sadly, without the new Doctor factor. Arc of Infinity was struggling in 1983, with 6.9 million tuning in to episode 3, with an AI of 67.
My mind delights in how many episode threes aired in this day, after yesterday's haul of episode two's.

Busy day today.
12 January 1974 makes today the 50th anniversary of Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Episode 1 got an impressive 11.0m viewers with an excellent AI of 62.
1980, and Season 17 finishes strong, if prematurely. Episode 4 of Horns of Nimon surged to 10.4m viewers with A stellar AI of 67. Oh, what could have been..
In 1982, another 10.4m viewers, as Castrovalva draws to an end (yes, already).
The following year, Arc of Infinity also finished on this day, with 7.2m viewers and an AI of 66.
In 1984, Warriors of the Deep was only on episode 3, with 7.3m viewers and an AI of 62.
Finally, in 1985 Attack of the Cybermen episode 2 lost over a million and a half viewers. 7.2 million and an AI of 65.
Still amazes me that Doctor Who aired on the same date in 4 consecutive years, and three of those four were concluding episodes of opening stories. This makes my brain happy. ðŸ§

Pleasingly, 14 January is a good day for episode fours.
In 1968, episode 4 of Enemy of the World was avoiding any danger of mid-story dip, with 7.8m viewers and an AI of 49.
In 1973, The Three Doctors avoided the episode 4 trend. Episode 3 gained a disappointing 8.8m viewers, the lowest figure for this story.
In 1979, Power of Kroll finished strong after a very volatile run, with 9.9 million and an AI of 63.
Finally, in 1984, Warriors of the Deep limped to a conclusion, episode 4 gaining just 6.6m viewers and an AI of 65. There should have been another way.

15 January 1967, Escape Switch continued Masterplan's solid if unremarkable performance with 9.5m viewers and an AI of 50.
In 1972, Day of the Daleks lost over a million viewers, to 9.1 million.
And in 1977, Face of Evil inched upwards to 11.3m, with an AI of 59.

16 January 1965 and 13 million tuned in to watch The Slave Traders, episode 1 of The Romans. The audience that came for the Dalek Invasion of Earth was sticking around so far but would a historical see them turn off? AI was 53, which was a positive sign, as in the 60' anything over 50 was good.
And in 1971, Terror of the Auton's was chugging along nicely, with 8.1m viewers.

Three episode 3s aired in this day.
In 1970, Terror of the Autons gained 8.3 million viewers, recovering from episode twos slight dip.
In 1976, Brain of Morbius added nearly a million viewers, with 10.1m and an AI of 57.
And in 1981, Warriors Gate surged impressively to 8.3 million, after a bit of a dip the previous week from 7.1 to 6.7. what on earth must over a million viewers have made of this story without having seen the first two episodes. It's opaque enough if you watch the whole thing. (Quite my favourite ever story though, for all that).

Now imagine doing what I did - recording S17 on audio cassette tape (video? not in our house, not for another few years!) and then trying to relive 'Warriors' Gate' from sound and memory...
