The War Between the Land and the Sea +7 viewing figures are here!

The War Between the Land and the Sea is over, bar the counting. The +7 viewing figures for all five episodes are now available. The +7 metric includes both the audiences on the night for each episode, and those who caught up on the Doctor Who spin-off within seven days.

The time-shift for each episode in the five part serial is remarkably consistent. Between 1.26m and 1.5m watched the episode later in the week. As you might expect, time-shifting was always slightly higher for the second part of each double bill. Due, most likely, to people wanting to space their viewing out – watching one on the Sunday and the other one or two days after.

• Homo Aqua: 4.31m – up 1.48m (52.3%) on the original overnight
• Plastic Apocalypse: 3.56m – up 1.5m (72.8%) on the overnight
• The Deep: 3.71m – up 1.26m (51.4%) on the overnight
• The Witch of the Waterfall: 3.2m – up 1.5m (88.2%) on the overnight
• The End of the War: 3.08m – up 1.29m (83.2%) on the overnight

Across the five episodes, The War Between the Land and the Sea lost 1.23m viewers, about 28.5% of the audience for Homo Aqua. That’s reasonably standard for dramas of this type. Though it does stand out that The Deep’s 3.71m is actually up on previous episode Plastic Apocalypse. It means that at least 150,000 people simply skipped the second episode and dove straight into The Deep.

The latest Whoniverse show’s average chart position was just outside the Top 20 at 22. The series high was The Deep at 12, and the series low was The Witch of the Waterfall at 33. The full set of chart positions are:

• Homo Aqua: 14
• Plastic Apocalypse: 22
• The Deep: 12
• The Witch of the Waterfall: 33
• The End of the War: 27

 

The final viewing figures for The War Between the Land and the Sea are still pending, with the +28 rating, including a full four weeks of catch up, due either at the end of this month or in early February. It will be interesting to see how much additional movement there is in those results. Especially for the later episodes, where the first week’s viewing would have been up against the highly competitive Christmas live schedule.
