Mappeal, here's the ratings:
Doctor Who: 7.3 million (36% share)
Ant & Dec: 6.0 million (30% share)
So down on last week, which was to be expected, but still big numbers - especially that share - when any drama breaks through the 30% barrier it's a big deal! It's also worth noting that the weather was so warm yesterday, and the sun was still out at 7pm - so many people would have still been out. However, when the official rating comes out in about ten days it'll take the video recordings into account.
Mappeal, here's my theory on the War... with SPOILER space for anyone who doesn't want to know (not that it's right - and I'll look a chimp if it isn't!)...

I think the Time Lords got into a huge War with the Daleks, and they destroyed Gallifrey - which is why the Doctor is so scared when he meets a Dalek in episode 6. Also, we now know that the Daleks are in episodes 12 and 13, the final part of which may be the regeneration episode. This is a sure fire way of making the Daleks genuinely scary again rather than just a bit silly. Chris Eccleston also hinted on Jonathan Ross' show that the only monster in this series that really poses a threat to the Doctor are the Daleks, so that should be interesting!
