Doctor Who's 11th series started on an extraordinary high, bagging the best ratings for an opener since the show returned, beating even hit drama Bodyguard.
It pulled in consolidated ratings - with include catch-up viewings and iPlayer - of 10.9 million.
However, ratings fell steadily with some viewers complaining of "simplistic" writing and "political correctness" in the show's scripts.
The series explored issues including gender, racism and British Imperialism in India and while fans weren't in love with the writing, many applauded Jodie.
