RATINGS: DOCTOR WHO 'LUCKY DAY' CONSOLIDATED FIGURES REVEALED

In the new series, audiences join The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) on an epic quest to get Belinda back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-travelling TARDIS team must face great dangers, ferocious enemies and wilder terrors than ever before.

Doctor Who continued on BBC One last weekend with The Well, which scored overnight audience of 1.9m. This was BBC One's highest primetime rating of the day.

BARB data has now been released which shows Lucky Day has consolidated to 2.8m after 7-days. This figure includes those who watched from 8am on the day of release, and includes those who watched on devices such as phones and computers.

Overall, the episode was the 29th most-watched programme of the week, but the BBC's biggest programme of the day and the 3rd overall across all channels.

The synopsis for the episode reads: "Ruby Sunday faces life back on Earth without the Doctor. But when a dangerous new threat emerges, can Ruby and UNIT save her new boyfriend Conrad from the terrifying Shreek?"
