"The Doctor Who 50th was a hugely ambitious event on the BBC and it's only fitting that it has taken the top spot as the highest-rating drama across all channels this year," said Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC drama commissioning.
"It's a fantastic tribute to both [writer and executive producer] Steven Moffat and the creativity of all those involved in the show throughout its history."
