The Doctor's invasion of America has paid off.
The premiere of the new season of "Doctor Who" -- the first time the Time Lord filmed on American soil -- drew nearly 1.27 million viewers for BBC America on Saturday, making it the channel's highest-rated, most-watched telecast ever for live and same day viewing.
That's 71,000 more viewers than the BBC America's previous best -- the premiere of last season's "Doctor Who" in April 2010.
The series kicked off with the two-parter 'The Impossible Astronaut', which featured the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his traveling companions taking on a new alien race known as the Silence.
