BBC America will be pleased with the launch of the 13th Doctor. The US simulcast went out at 1.45pm East Coast time, when most of the nation is slumped in front of American football coverage. Total viewers were 1.4m - that's nearly 50% up on Peter Capaldi's final show. 782k tuned in for pre-show build-up; 631k stayed for a post-show special. The evening outing of the first episode picked up a further 361k viewers.
