ITV1 is believed to suffered the worst Saturday ratings on June 28, with BBC1 winning the whole day thanks to Wimbeldon and the penultimate episode of Doctor Who.

The commercial channel brought only 10.2% share for all-hours, down from its previous recording of 11.5%. BBC1, however, brought 26.9%. The Doctor Who episode brought 7.4 million, according to unofficial ratings.

The BBC1 basically won the entire day, except for 15 minutes - where BBC2 showed Wimbeldon. BBC3’s behind-the-scenes look into the production of Doctor Who, Doctor Who Confidential, got 1.1 million and a 6.8%.

After the massive cliff-hanger in the second-last episode of the series - I’m trying not to spoil it - here is what the media is saying:

Wired has a story about the second-last episode and about the cliff-hanger - and it does contain spoilers, so if you don’t want to know - don’t read it.

Doctor Who News is reporting the unofficial ratings of the episode, with 7.4 million viewers.

We, The Journal, have a video of the trailer for the last episode of the season. Don’t view the video if you don’t want to see spoilers.

The Coventry Telegraph has a blog post about the episode, and also links to other news articles about the future of the Tenth Doctor.

The Telegraph is reporting that the BBC is expected to be watched around 10 million, hoping to eclipse the 9.1 million who watched the first episode of the season. The final episode is also getting some additional minutes, totaling 65 minutes.

The BBC is, well, shaping up to compete with our own public broadcaster, ABC - after the BBC brand is starting to take a stranglehold in our local media.

BBC’s commercial arm - BBC Worldwide - announced that it would be taking control over UKTV last week, and announced plans for BBC Knowledge and Cbeebies - both channels being part of its worldwide push. The BBC already has BBC World News, BBC HD and UKTV on the Foxtel platform, and the two other channels will launch when Foxtel adds more capacity.

As well, they are assisting in shows like Top Gear Australia, being broadcast on SBS, and has established a joint-venture with PBL Media’s ACP Magazines.

This comes when the ABC readies for their submission of federal grants - remember, we don’t pay license fees, aiming to raise $850 million and extra money to launch ABC3 - a children’s channel. ABC has said that Cbeebies will not affect their plans - as the ABC purchases over 200 hours of content from the Beeb every year - mainly children shows, but also Doctor Who and Spooks.
