Only 17% of your 2 million actually watched the episode for
more than 10 seconds, ie. 340,000 and no more world wide.
That's closer to Doomcocks figure but doesn't take into
account the fact than when Whittaker finished her run she was
only getting 100,000 views on BBC America.

A better worldwide estimate would be 75,000. 50,000 in the US
and Canada and 25,000 elsewhere since it's not being shown on
Disney+ in either the UK or Republic of Ireland.

And that still doesn't tell us how many people watched each
episode all the way through from start to end. 300 maybe?
Doctor Whoke doesn't represent British culture as the
Americans and foreigners see it so that is probably a fair
estimate.

Then you need to ask how many people actually watched the
episode all the way through in the UK? Most of them probably
switched out before the episode ended or tuned in at the end
to watch the football. At best I would say only 200,000, most
likely only 20,000.

 Most fans of a TV show do not switch it off after twenty
seconds... you are constantly inventing false narratives to back

Fans? I'm not talking about fans, I'm talking about viewers? 10 seconds of viewing time is all it takes to count someone as a viewers.

up your delusional figures. Are the official ratings not low
enough for you?

My figures are statistically accurate and represent real viewer behaviour as opposed to your delusional fantasies. 99% of viewers only watch for barely over 10 seconds and then they're gone to see if something else is any better. Divide the viewing figures by 100 and that's approximately how many people have actually watch the entire episode. That is what is bourn out by YouTube and every YouTuber knows this and also knows it applies to ordinary television too.
Going by Doomcocks figures only 50,000 people watched the first 2 episodes. That's 25,000 an episode and 99% of that is people dropped out at various points and for various reasons before the episode ended. Did you actually watch Doomcocks video until the end because it's obvious you missed his main point. 99% of the audience did not finish the whole episode. He could have derived it from his YouTube statistics which are no different to mine as a 10,000 viewer sample is perfectly good enough statistically. 99% of the audience left before it ended. Only 25,000/100 people watched the episode from start to finish. That's only 250 people. That's the real audience of Doctor Whoke. Even in the UK only 200,000 people watched the last episode from start to finish. What's Doctor Whoke's real audience figure.

 

Let Disney+ publish their numbers along with total duration
viewed and let the BBC do the same, otherwise my and
Doomcock's estimates stick. Doomcock after all said most
viewers tuned out for various reasons before each episode
ended.

 How could anyone, apart from Disney, know that somebody gave up
on an episode of Doctor Who before the end? It's not possible

Because Disney collects viewer stats the same way YouTube does. It's 100% possible. Only 1% of viewers finish the episode.

for anyone to know this sort of thing, unless they have access
to official Disney streaming data, which they themselves rarely
even publish!!! But, a guy on the internet KNOWS!
 

It's called statistical extrapolation. Doomcock has a YouTube channel and that channel has stats just like mine does and just like Disney+. The general trend of the statistics is exactly the same. Doomcock being intelligent can easily work this out from his only channel's statistics just like I did from mine. Only 1% of viewers finish watching each episode. That was the entire point of Doomcock's video.

Er, okay...
 Methinks there is going to be some major goal-post shifting
going on if Disney extend their partnership with the BBC for
more seasons of Doctor Who...
 (I will bookmark your posts so that we can revisit this
discussion if/when that scenario happens!)

So far not one single platform streaming or cable has renewed it's contract with the BBC for Doctor Whoke. Don't expect Disney to be any different. The viewing figures have been totally appalling ever since Doctor Who went totally woke.
