Thats wicked. thanks for posting that sophie

one week delay
 

The BBC has announced that Series Three will take a one-week break on Saturday 12th May, meaning transmission of episode seven, 42, will now be on the 19th May.

The episode is being delayed because the BBC is committed to broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest at 8pm that evening.

To fit Doctor Who into the schedule, it would require an earlier than usual start. Past evidence shows that the earlier the start time of the programme the lower the ratings, and it is thought the BBC wish to keep Doctor Who at 7pm in future to maximise the number watching.

Still a MASSIVE ratings hit!
 

Figures show that episode six of Series Three, The Lazarus Experiment, was watched by 6.8 million viewers,
a 37.1% share of the UK television audience.

The programme was top of the UK ratings chart for the night, beating Casualty, which got 6.3 million.
On ITV1, Vernon Kay's Gameshow Marathon got 4 million viewers and Grease is the Word got 3.8 million.

The programme was again top of the Under 16's chart for the week with 1.5 million viewers, which was a massive 60.7% audience share. It's nearest rivals were EastEnders with 0.7m viewers and Ugly Betty with 0.6m.

Most watched programme on Saturday, yet again! :dance:
