The first Britain’s Got Talent semi-final won 4.4million viewers compared to 1.8 million who watched Doctor Who last night.
The latest Doctor Who episode is the third out of eight new adventures in the current season. The synopsis reads “Far in the future, on a tough, brutal planet, a devastated mining colony has only one survivor. To discover the truth, the Doctor and Belinda must face absolute terror.”
Whilst the episode was positively revered by fans and critics, it’s likely to only be watched by about 4million viewers including streamers.
With no season 3 confirmed, it’s likely the show will either be rested or handed to a new show runner - and new Doctor - if it does continue… and that decision is in the hands of co-founder Disney.
BGT performed well, increasing its figures, but that is not untypical for the live shows. But fans weren’t happy with the result which saw fan favourite Linda crash out.
Both series continue next Saturday.
