Indeed and last night's show with Ant and Dec's songs was probably one of the strongest shows of the series so far, even without Undercover, plus there was a new game for Beat the Ads, so the show isn't stale yet despite what the critics would say

Notice no Undercover last night - or plugs for future undercovers.!

DA
Ant and Dec still proved they had pulling power last night, even though they lost out to Doctor Who, they still managed to pull in 8.5 million, compared to Doctor Who's 10.5 million. Only 2 million between them.
From BBC News:
Doctor Who's long-awaited return was a ratings success for the BBC, attracting up to 10.5 million viewers on Saturday. Unofficial overnight figures show the programme got an average of 9.9 million viewers - 43.2% of all viewers - with a peak of 10.5 million viewers, a 44.3% share of the audience. The Time Lord's comeback was pitted against Ant And Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV1, featuring England captain David Beckham as a special guest. It attracted 7.2m viewers, peaking at 8.5m. An ITV spokesman said: "The audience for Ant and Dec was up on the show last Easter Saturday, which got 7.1 million viewers, so we have no complaints."

I wonder what the figures would be taking into account people watching the repeats on ITV2/BBC Three?
Personally I opted to watch Ant and Dec as it's a LIVE programme which you have to watch LIVE! I caught up on Doctor Who tonight but am glad I watched Ant and Dec last night.
I think both ITV and BBC will be pleased with the ratings. I hope all the money the BBC have used to promote this programme pays off for them/us!
