With BBC, Disney+, and Showrunner Russell T. Davies's Doctor Who S02E03: "The Well" set to hit screens this weekend, we have some viewing numbers to pass along regarding the season opener. Confirmed by Radio Times, the seven-day viewing numbers for S02E01: "The Robot Revolution" have it at 3.571 million viewers. In terms of the Top 50 shows for the week, it placed at number 21 in the UK. As for how it compares with the previous season, it stands as a drop from S01E01: "Space Babies." A couple of things. First, it will be interesting to see how the Live+28 numbers on it turn out. Second, it will be interesting to see what the final numbers for S02E02: "Lux" end up being. Though pulling in just 1.58 million viewers to BBC One on the night it aired (the lowest in the show's run), we live in a streaming world, so that number means very little until the BBC iPlayer and Disney+ numbers are factored in. While this season's opening episode received solid reviews, critics and viewers alike have been heaping praise on "Lux" for being a series-defining adventure – again, another factor to keep in mind.
