tbh, Sophia only wins by default, as I haven't been a guest star yet.

The episode did well in the ratings as well:


Unofficial overnight figures show that episode two, The Shakespeare Code, was watched by 6.8 million viewers.

Although the figure was down on last week the programme was still the most-watched programme of the day, both in terms of audience and share. The Easter Holiday and good weather in the UK saw audiences drop across the day.

Doctor Who comfortably beat its main rivals on ITV1, with Grease is the Word getting just 4 million viewers and Harry Hill 3.9m.

BBC One took all of the top five positions in the day's ratings chart, with Casualty getting 6 million and Any Dream Will Do 5.9m.

During transmission, Doctor Who's audience rose to peak at 8.1m during the last five minutes. It also was top of the children's chart with over double the audience of under 16s of its nearest rival.

Over on BBC Three, Doctor Who Confidential was once again the second most watched programme of the day with 617,000 viewers.

So many great lines last night too.

Martha: we're going the wrong way.
The Doctor: No we're not..............
..... We're going the wrong way

people annoyed on Outpost Gallifrey about "expelliarmus" being in there

They really do take it too serioulsy sometimes. There's also about three threads every episode about RTD's "gay agenda"

I enjoyed yesterdays episode and having read the RT about how they filled the Globe with 3,000 people with only 50 extras I saw them making it on the Confidential.

Think he prefeered the first episode of this series to the second. Last nights seemed to dip in parts for him and got a bit wordy with not a lot of action.

Some people really have no knowledge of history do they!

People on Outpost Gallifrey saying that maybe The Doctor hadn't done something to upset Queen Elizabeth I but that it's a result of what happened with Queen Victoria

Enjoyed that once again, the special effects were very good last night I thought. Martha has quickly settled in and it feels comfortable watching her and the Doctor rather than Rose already. DLK was good and most of the dialogue was amusing. Next week looks interesting, Face of Boe \o/
