More than 10 million viewers watched David Tennant regenerate into Matt Smith in Doctor Who on New Year’s Day.

Part two of Tennant’s swansong, The End of Time, averaged 10.4 million viewers, a 36% share of the audience between 6.40pm and 7.55pm. It peaked with marginally more – 10.6 million – between 7.30pm and 7.45pm, according to unofficial overnight figures.

Doctor Who predictably had the better of an ITV1 lineup that included the ITV News, with 5.8 million viewers and a 21% share between 6.40pm and 7pm, and Emmerdale, which brought in 7.3 million viewers and a 25% share between 7pm and 7.30pm.
