The Sun’s TV Biz has revealed that Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who was trounced in the ratings by ITV’s All Star Family Fortunes.
And it seems the reason for poor viewer numbers is that many fans say they’re put off watching the show because it’s storyline have become “too complicated.”
A primetime audience of 5.9million watched the episode on Saturday, 6.2million tuned in to All Star Family Fortunes.
Delighted Vernon Kay, host of Family Fortunes, said, “Wow! The Time Lord can beat the Daleks but not Family Fortunes! Great!”
Doctor Who’s latest six-part run kicked off with 6.4million last month, but even Matt Smith, who plays the Time Lord, confessed that some of the plotlines were so complicated they even had HIM stumped.
He added that he’d had to read the scripts several times before he understood them.
However, he defended the show’s boss Steven Moffat, insisting that the storyline he’s come up with aren’t too hard for viewers to grasp.
He said, “If you give Steven the time to tell the full story, which he does, it makes sense.
“It just doesn’t make sense immediately. But isn’t it good to raise questions?
“Isn’t it brave to have a show on at 6.30 that challenges audiences?
“I’m tired of TV that’s patronising and simple.”
