Audience figures are down by 750,000 on the series four premiere two weeks ago, but the Doctor Who spin-off is still proving to be a ratings success for BBC One.

Torchwood: Miracle Day enjoyed a 18.5% share in the 9pm slot, compared to the 13.4% share and 2.99million viewers entertained by Single Handed on ITV1 and 1.17million who tuned into The Killing USA on Channel 4.

The latest series has been a co-production between the BBC and US network Starz, boosting funding for the show and garnering a host of new stars including Bill Pullman and Mekhi Phifer.

Across the pond ratings have actually improved, with a 4% rise in audience figures for the third episode.

The show has gone from strength to strength since making its debut on BBC Three in 2006.

The first episodes of the debut series gave the digital channel its highest ever ratings, prompting a move to BBC Two for its second series.

Torchwood: Children Of Earth was broadcast on BBC One, where the show has remained ever since.
