From the BBC Annual Report, via OG--"Profits from global TV sales were up 19% to £40.2million, driven particularly by contemporary drama such as Doctor Who."
I have the overnight figures only for Lost (which are less reliable), but they have it at 1,107,000. Runaway Bride underperformed with only 842,929. As usual it did best in the 40-54 and 65+ bands, even though it didn't have the problem of Saturday night robbing it of a younger audience. It performed best in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane as it has of recent years, and I have no idea why that is!
