I love how both British and American people enjoy the show. I really love Doctor Who it’s what my Dad describes as the ‘best of British’

Awful overnight rating but not helped by Champions League final. Next week will be worse with Euro 2012 England qualifier and Britain’s Got Talent up against Who. No hope

I hate doctor who so much and this was a rubbish episode.

I don’t know how Canadian and American fans are going to be able to avoid spoilers on this one. I didn’t wait, personally, and I’m glad I didn’t. Fantastic 2-parter with an fantastic ending. But it does serve to make the “My name is Amy Pond” narration intro that has been foisted upon the North American version of the series look stupid. Will they honestly put it onto the start of the mid-season finale too?

I saw it! I am sorry for those who saw it and didn’t get quite the reaction that they should have… cliff hanger was wow! Can’t wait to see who river is! Doctor didn’t seem surprised when amy told him he was dead… at first I thought she told ganger, but when he said they switched shoes! There goes my theory about ganger being shot in epi 1… back at square one… lol!

?????????????????????????

so if u hate doctor who,why come on this site and waste our time?

I think that nothing can be read into the overnights or next week’s overnights due to the football.

If the time shifts are poor, then I’d start worrying.

If the figures for the Autumn episodes are up, this may give the Beeb cause for thought for re-scheduling the series back to Autumn, where I honestly think they should be.

Think Dark autumn/winter evenings, the curtains drawn in and the family gathered round to watch brilliantly scary episodes of Doctor Who.

who never rates well in summer why they keep scheduling it when there is so much going on is just beoned me !

if u dont like doctor who then stop commenting on this site i thought the eipisode was amazing my jaw just droped when amy got turned into mush i was on the edge of my bed amazed by the whole thing and the silver eye patch lady Oh and buy the way i owe an apoligy to everyone i said she was not the mid wive so sorry i thought she wasnt the mid wive cos i thought that moffat wouldnt make it that ovibus to who she is but then again i guees the most ovibus solution is the best

I thought it was an amazing episode. The reviews are a little dissapointing but all the same, they did really well. I can’t wait for next weeks episode it should be EPIC! I’m so curious about River Song.

@rachel
A doctor who hater, signed up for whoviannet , makes so much sense

@rachel
If you so hate the show like you say you do, then you do not put in the thought level required to understand its awesomeness, and as such, the episodes make no sense and thus you hate them.

All I can say is …. wow! Awesome episode, eye patch lady makes perfect sense now….wow!

For the late spring bank holiday, with some decent weather and football in the mix, I’d not get too hung up over 5 million viewers. It’s still shown as just passed 24pc of the audience share. There’ll probably be lots of i-Player and other viewings to top up the figures and I’d be included in that.

@rachel
Then stop watching if you hate it so much, i’m sure there is some rubish reality show you can watch instead

exactly Shaun! I thought it was FANTASTIC!!! and unbelievable twist at the end-i NEVER saw that coming!!!

If this last episode did not send every kid under 9 ( 19 ) to the back of she sofa then the next most certainly will! This is the stuff of dreams and nightmares…………….
