BBC One is giving viewers another chance to watch Doctor Who 's two-part series premiere.

Episodes one and two - ' The Magician's Apprentice ' and ' The Witch's Familiar ' - will be repeated, in feature-length format, this Sunday at 3.15pm .

Doctor Who pulled in an overnight rating of 4.6m viewers last Saturday night, down over 2m from last series' opener - and Peter Capaldi 's debut - ' Deep Breath '.


'The Witch's Familiar' will first air as a single instalment this Saturday at 7.45pm.

The episode will follow up on the Doctor's decision to abandon a young Davros - destined to become creator of the Daleks - on a battlefield.

"He abandons the child Davros to his fate which is not the right thing to do," Capaldi revealed. "So he's haunted by his moral failure."
