The Appreciation Index figure for Episode Twelve of Doctor Who, The Pandorica Opens, was 88, highest of the series so far.
Just under half a million watched the BBC 3 repeat.
With the numbers being way off this season I wil bet 7.5 million ish come the final numbers so I will say at least 8 million will probably end up watching part 2.
If England win on wednesday and top there group then England would play directly after Doctor Who so a lot more people would be tuned into BBC 1 before hand.
Heres some press reaction...
The Daily Telegraph called the episode "Sensational, propelling the viewer on a gripping adventure with plenty of shocks and surprises, leavened with more emotional and humorous material for a heady mix."
The Express calls the story "classic fairytale, aimed, as always, at a family audience, with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan now complete in their respective roles". They make a plea to the BBC to safeguard the budget for the series saying it is one of the crown jewels and should be protected.
Den of the Geek said "How good was that? We’ve been salivating at the thought of what Steven Moffat could do with a finale two-parter since he first got the top job on Doctor Who. The answer? A lot".
The Guardian blog says you need to watch this episode at least three times to get a proper handle on every little bit that's going on. Thing is, you'll want to.
Also final numbers for The Lodger should be up within the next 48 hours.
