OK, thanks.
Here's a nice look at the use of the volume or as they call it here, "virtual production", on Boom.

I really enjoyed this one. Fav of the season so far.

Live + 7 figures for Boom are 3.58 m so we can say now there's no mass group of people staying up until midnight to watch the episodes as they become available.

What's really shocking, and an excellent case for scrapping the License Fee is that this still puts it as the BBC's 4th most watched programme of the week.

Hell, just coming to these threads after the episodes are finished on Friday evening (from my perspective) makes it obvious very few of our resident Brits are watching the streaming premieres of the episodes.

And I got to say, it sure is weird, after nineteen years of being one of the last ones around here to see a Doctor Who episode to now being one of the first. It really is quite the adjustment.

That also shows that overnight ratings and such are utterly meaningless at this point. How viewership is measured needs to be overhauled in the streaming realm. And maybe they have been since certain platforms are notorious for never releasing any of that kind of information.

But I also know I'm heavily biased on this point since I've been railing against following ratings since I began to understand what they meant and how they were used.

Ratings matter slightly less these days because now we have to factor in the Disney+ viewers also

We’re Who fans, ratings have been a Tenet of the Faith since the times of Saint Pixley in the Dark Times.

I still shrug at them and focus on my own enjoyment of the episodes.

Nice and tense, and impressive in how focused it was, with some very interesting ideas. On the demerit side, I'm not entirely sure those ideas were utilised to their fullest potential, and I can't shake an impression of an issue I've had before with Moffat, him coming up with a dramatic idea, then having to force things to one degree or another to make it happen, hence the elements that fell a little flat for some people, myself included. Leaves a faintly unsatisfying aftertaste.
