| More terrifying than Dinosaurs... The X Factor! |
In two weeks time Doctor Who will clash with viewing figures winner The X Factor when they overlap by ten minutes. 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship' starts at 7:35pm and finishes at 8:20pm on Saturday 8th of September and 'The X Factor' starts at 8:10pm on ITV1. Any more than a ten minute clash would be a disaster as the "talent" show would win hands down. Sadly the casual viewer who's just stuck it on as there is nothing else to watch will probably flick over to ITV for their Factor fix meaning a million or so viewers will be shed. Doctor Who currently averages around 7 million viewers with Christmas specials getting around 10 million. Series 6 attracted lots of attention for having low overnight viewing figures but what the media didn't report is that the final viewing figures always added another 2 million viewers when released changing 5 million to a healthy 7 million. The fact that the first two episodes are airing after 7pm and we've had a huge wait between series might mean that Doctor Who will perform even better than normal. Plus if you've seen those amazing trailers how can you resist tuning in?
