Doctor Who Flux confirms ratings for episode four

The stats are in for the fourth episode of Doctor Who: Flux, which saw the return of the Weeping Angels but was still met with mixed reviews.

The latest episode, titled 'Village of the Angels', aired on Sunday (November 21) and featured jump scares, unexpected twists and a cliffhanger ending. But sadly, it still didn't manage to improve ratings.

While the premiere, 'The Halloween Apocalypse', drew an impressive audience of 4.43 million, the latest instalment had almost a million less, registering 3.45 million viewers.

So far, the series has seen a drop in viewers every week, with the second episode drawing 3.96 million viewers, and the third episode 3.76 million.

The biggest show of the night on Sunday was, of course, the premiere of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, so it's perhaps not surprising that fewer people watched Doctor Who live.

The BBC's entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba addressed the latest figures on Twitter, writing: "I'm A Celebrity on ITV launched with 8.03 million viewers. A big figure, but significantly down from 2020's launch (during lockdown) of 10.93m."

"Doctor Who was 3.45m, a drop of a million since the series opener. The episode was well received though and could see stronger catch up."

Consolidated figures including those that tuned in later on catch-up are still yet to be revealed.

The fifth episode, titled 'Flux: Survivors of the Flux', will air this Sunday (November 28), and, as the penultimate episode of the series, may draw in a few extra viewers.

The synopsis reads: "As the forces of evil mass, the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan face perilous journeys and seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their quest for survival."

Doctor Who: Flux (aka series 13) airs weekly every Sunday night on BBC One in the UK. In the US, the show airs on BBC America, with series 1-12 available on HBO Max.
