It's the same people watching twice.

The woke pervert RTD can now boast to writing the lowest rating episode 
of all time, The Legend of Ruby Sunday, which could only manage 2.02 
million viewers overnight and 3.05 million consolidated, lower than even 
episode 1 of Battlefield even not counting the 2 or 3 times I watched it 
again after I taped it on VHS.

Like the shithead RTD. Battlefield was worth watching more than once. 
None of RTDs woke crap is. Still waiting to see that £5 coin with the 
king's head on it. The woke wanker can't even keep that continuity intact.

The advertisers will not be happy then.
