The episode saw The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) as they dove into an alternate reality dreamed up by the scheming Conrad Clark (Jonah Hauer-King) and made real by The Rani (Archie Panjabi).
The seventh and penultimate episode of the current season of Doctor Who aired last night (Saturday 24th May 2025) at 6:50 pm on BBC One and brought in an overnight audience of 1.8 million, according to TV Zone.
It should be noted that this figure is not consolidated, meaning it does not include BBC iPlayer, where the episode was available to view from 8am on Saturday morning, ahead of its broadcast on BBC One.
Despite being the precursor to the series finale, this week's episode marks a fall in overnight viewership from the season high last week of 2.57 million viewers for The Interstellar Song Contest.

The synopsis for next week's episode of Doctor Who, The Reality War, reads: "Battle rages across the skies as the Unholy Trinity unleash their deadly ambition. The Doctor, Belinda and Ruby have to risk everything in the quest to save one innocent life."
The Reality War is said to be skipping an early BBC iPlayer release in favour of a terrestrial premiere, so there will be no early spoilers!
"It takes some unexpected turns… There are some big surprises, from the Doctor and for the Doctor. Some of it shakes up the lore of Gallifrey. Some of it re-contextualises the Doctor, the Rani, and their relationship."
We'll have to wait and see what the finale brings.
