Doctor Who Premiere Blasts BBC America Ratings Record

The Doctor's invasion of America has paid off.

The premiere of the new season of Doctor Who -- the first time the Time Lord filmed on American soil -- drew nearly 1.27 million viewers for BBC America on Saturday, making it the channel's highest-rated, most-watched telecast ever for live and same day viewing.

That's 71,000 more viewers than the BBC America's previous best -- the premiere of last season's Doctor Who in April 2010.

The series kicked off with the two-parter "The Impossible Astronaut," which featured the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his traveling companions taking on a new alien race known as the Silence.

Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
