Re: Fear Her ratings

I was hanging out with the cool kids in rec.arts.drwho when
Agamemnon got out a spraycan and scrawled the following:

The numbers say the exact opposite of what you claimed. Please
acknowledge this.

OK, they indicate that the switch off was closer to 1945 when the show
ended than when I originally predicted, but they still do not tell how
many unique individuals watched to show from start to finish and that's
what's important, not the average number of viewers including
fluctuations.

So you've decided to rest your argument on a completely wild theory that
can't be proved or disproved (how many people sat through the entire 45

Yes it can be proved or disproved. Get BARB to provide to correlated
statistics on a per viewer basis then we will know how many people watch the
show from start to finish.

Go on then, get them to provide these statistics. Until you do so, you
can keep bleating that it was 4 million, and the rest of us, accompanied
by a well-shaven Mr Occam, can keep claiming that it was nearly 6
million.

No fewer than 6 million people were watching at any time on Saturday. To

Then the actual people who watch the episode all the way through must be
less.

OK, less than or equal to (or "fewer or as many", as we're counting) -
but neither you nor we know exactly how many, so to insist on this
rather pessimistic figure of 4m looks like you're just clutching at
straws to back up your personal (though I must admit, in some cases
well-founded) dislike for the show.

everyone else that puts the audience at 6 million plus. To you it means 4
million. Only you know why.

Its drama and its pointless counting people who missed part of the story as
viewers.

That's an explanation for why it's important to know how many were
consistent viewers. That's not an explanation for how you've reached
the answer "4 million".

It is, as you keep pointing out, drama. And this is why it is *more*
likely that the people who were watching it were watching it all the way
through.
