Viewing Figures Graph

Does anyone happen to have a graph of Doctor Who viewing figures - preferably from 1963 to present? If not I'm contemplating making one.
 
There are weekly ratings threads at Outpost Gallifrey where some helpful chap does series graphs, but only for the new series.

Rating info for the classic series is probably out there somewhere, but won't be very comparable since classic Who 1) was in a different timeslot and 2) there were fewer channels back then, so BBC1 got proportionately more viewers. Less timeshifting back then, too... modern series gets around an additional 1-2 million viewers who recorded or watched online/on demand.
 
lol you want a graph of the ratings for every single Doctor Who episode? the BBC have lost some of those episodes, what makes you think the ratings will still exist.

They'll still have the records. And in fact the ratings figures have been printed in books and I believe they're also on the Tardis Wikia site, too.

The BBC has kept track down to the half second when each episode started and ended and this has been printed in DWM and other publications, too. The fact they haven't kept the episodes themselves is irrelevant.

The viewing figures are all available on the Doctor Who Wiki. Looks like I'll be making a big graph.

I might have considered making your a graph of this seasons ratings, but not for the whole entire history of the show.

It's just a crazy thought that occurred to me late last night - I wanted to see the line go up and down over the years. Eventually I'll get around to it - I'll be sure to post it here.
