RATINGS: OVERNIGHT FIGURES FOR FIRST PART 1 OF DOCTOR WHO SERIES FINALE 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 on Saturday 24th May with 'Wish World' which scored overnight audience of 1.8m. The consolidated rating - which will include iPlayer, devices and catch-up, will be released w/c 2nd June.

Overall, it was BBC's third most-watched primetime offering of the day, only just behind The Hit List and Celebrity Bridge Of Lies. Doctor Who was fifth of the day, with ITV continuing to dominate Saturday nights with Britain's Got Talent and The 1% Club.

The synopsis for the episode reads: "Traps are sprung and old enemies unite as the Doctor and Belinda finally arrive home to find a very different world. Can the Doctor see the truth before midnight arrives?"
