"Most watched first episode for a new incarnation"
- An immediate success, it remains, as of September 2013[update], the most-watched first episode for any new incarnation of the Doctor. Its 10.81 million BBC One rating bested the previous record-holder, Robot, and was not outdone by either The Christmas Invasion or The Eleventh Hour.
Would Hurt's appearance in The Day of the Doctor count as the holder of the title of "most watched first episode for any new incarnation of the Doctor" now with its BARB rating of 12.80 million? I ask this because although he's a regeneration, narratively the "War Doctor" only briefly sees himself as the Doctor at the very end of the life (and I'm gathering we're only counting full appearances, so The Day of the Doctor wouldn't technically be Capaldi's "first episode"). -- Tybort (talk page) 06:52, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
