Now Doctor Who scares off another one million viewers

Creepy: A Silent, one of the new killer aliens on the show


It has been one of the BBC’s success stories of recent years.

As Doctor Who begins its latest series with disappointing viewing figures, however, some fans are asking if the plotlines are too scary and too complex for its largely family audience.

Early figures for the second episode of the new series starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as companion Amy Pond show that more than one million viewers turned off the show.

It secured 5.39million viewers – down 1.01million on the series opener the week before. Overnight figures for that first episode were down by almost 1.5million on the equivalent episode last year, although ratings released yesterday showed it had a final total audience of 8.86million.

Even so, the apparent downturn in popularity has led to doubts among some avid viewers over the plotlines being pursued by executive producer and main writer Steven Moffat.

Some fans also say the plots have become too complicated and involved, but others say it is important for the show to experiment.

A BBC spokesman said: ‘Doctor Who is a show for all the family. It’s well known for getting viewers hiding behind their sofas and children expect episodes to provide scares and thrills.

‘Doctor Who is never gruesome, cold-blooded or gratuitously violent. All content is carefully considered for a pre-watershed audience.’

Have Britain's Got Talent judges found their winner?

By EMILY SHERIDAN

A little boy with a small voice: Ronan Parke, 12, received a standing ovation after his powerful rendition of Feeling Good at the London auditions of Britain's Got Talent


It's only the third week of auditions in this year's Britain's Got Talent - but it looks like the judges may have already found their winner.

Angelic schoolboy Ronan Parke was advised to 'not bother to go back to school' by Michael McIntyre after he wowed the audience at the London auditions.

The 12-year-old burst into tears when he was given three yesses after belting out a powerful rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good.


One to watch: Judges (L-R) Michael McIntyre, Amanda Holden and Louis Walsh all gave Ronan the thumbs up


Emotional: The cute singer burst into tears as the judges all gave him a yes


He had taken the day off school to go the audition with his mother Maggie and father Trevor, who watched anxiously from the wings.

Despite Maggie's fears of how he would be received, the judges and the audience gave him a huge applause - making him one of the most popular acts so far this series.

Judge Michael McIntyre said: 'So you took a day off school... I wouldn’t bother going back. You’re a little star. You’ve taken a room and blown the roof off it… You’re the best we’ve seen so far.'

Guest judge Louis Walsh, who had stepped in on behalf of David Hasselhoff, said: 'I’m gonna predict really big things for you. You’re so good.'

Speaking after Ronan's audition, Walsh tipped the boy to be the breakout star of this series: 'He’s the one to beat. Little Ronan could be the winner.'


And relax: Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly comfort his anxious mother Maggie



Not for the faint-hearted: Seven-year-old Olivia Binfield read a poem while her pet Boa constrictor Lucy wrapped herself around the her owner


Last chance: After years as a session musician, pub landlord Herbie Armstrong is hoping to make a name for himself as a singer/songwriter


Well we weren't expecting that: Male singing group Out Of The Blue surprised with a mash-up of Bad Romance and SexyBack


Mixed response: Martial arts and Bollywood dance trio TKD Remix, comprising of Harwinder, 25, Rajveer, 14, and Thangaes, 13, received two yesses and one np


Bizarre: Louis says he 'didn't get' a dance act based on Star Wars and Michael Jackson called Darth Dongle and the Princess



Mixed reviews: Michael and Louis disagree on an Edward Scissorhands-inspired act, leaving Amanda to decide their fate
