Early ratings figures show that the episode averaged a mammoth 10.97 million viewers - a 51.7% share of the audience - for BBC One in the 9pm hour, beating the 9.92m record set just last week.

Overnight ratings take into account viewers who have watched a programme live or on a same-day delay before the 2am cutoff.

Consolidated seven-day ratings from BARB have shown that the current series is averaging more than 12.5 million viewers, while the consolidated 28-day figure for the first episode of the series has come in at a huge 15.2 million viewers.
