And the final result is in: (From OG)
Official figures released today by the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board confirm that Journey's End, the final episode of Series Four, was the UK's most watched television programme of the week with an official rating of 10.57 million viewers.
It is the first time in Doctor Who's 45 year history that the programme has achieved this position. Not only did the programme top the chart but it did so in style getting more than 1.5 million more than the second placed programme, Mondays Wimbledon coverage. Journey's End got over 2 million more viewers than any episode of Coronation Street and 3 million more than any episode of EastEnders.
This previous highest chart position was achieved by the 2007 Christmas special, Voyage of the Damned, and last week's The Stolen Earth, both of which came second. The highest chart position the classic series achieved was 5th for the second episode of the 1975 Tom Baker story The Ark in Space.
Only 31 episodes of Doctor Who have ever made the top ten, eight starring William Hartnell, one starring Jon Pertwee, one starring Tom Baker, one starring Christopher Eccleston and twenty starring David Tennant.
The high chart position, combined with the outstanding Appreciation Index scores, make the two final episodes of Series 4 undoubtedly the most successful episodes of Doctor Who ever made. With the repeats on BBC3 and the IPlayer downloads included, the final episode has been seen by nearly 13 million viewers within a week of broadcast.
Doctor Who also topped the Multi Channel Chart, with Saturday's Confidential making number one with 1.46 million watching. The Sunday repeat of Journey's End was 2nd with 1.21 million and the Friday repeat of The Stolen Earth got 0.74 million and was the 11th most watched programme.

For any show, that's an amazing achievement - and TWENTY episodes of Tennant's era in the Top Ten. That's about half isn't it, with the remainder not that far out of the Top Ten either. Awesome!
And number one, what a high for the RTD series to go out on!

What's great for RTD personally is that his run of four episodes at the end of the season all made the Top 5 and just kept going up and up!
Here's some food for thought - Journey's End got almost 150% of the top rated EE episode. Now jump back 20 years and consider that EE got around 20m viewers then - it would be the equivalent of the McCoy episodes getting around 27-28m viewers!

Sounds good but not Earth-shattering (considering it was dark and rainy out and there was no competition on the other channels).
How did it compare with other shows?

Over on ITV, The X Factor result show's uninterrupted ratings rise since the live Sunday episodes began came to an end last night, dipping slightly with 14.3m (47.9%) tuning in for Jamie Archer's exit between 8pm and 9pm. Last week, Lucie Jones's shock exit had 14.36m (49.4%).
The series nine opener of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here from 9pm put in 9.76m (36.1%) in the 90 minutes from 9pm.
Top Gear's return to BBC Two for its 14th series attracted 5.48m (19.1%) at 9pm, before Miranda took 1.74m (7.4%). Earlier in the evening, Ray Mears' Northern Wilderness attracted 1.9m (6.4%).

I was kind of expecting 10m overnights, but if it makes 10m finals it's still superb. To put it into perspective, most primetime drama these days gets around 5-6m and is considered a success. ITV's Murderland and Collision and Spooks have been getting around that mark lately.
The Christmas pair should get at least 13-14m overnights. That's my prediction anyway!

From The Doctor Who News Page:
The Waters of Mars scored an AI of 88.
The score was the second highest of the weekend, only beaten by Foyles War on ITV1.
The Appreciation Index or AI is a measure of how much an audience enjoyed a programme. The average score for Drama is around 77. For any programme, a score in excess of 85 is excellent. Any score in excess of 90 is exceptional. Any programme that falls below 60 has received a poor AI.
Meanwhile Sunday has been dubbed Super Sunday as the total TV Audience for peak hours was the highest since January 2000.
