Since it's a singular episode for the era at the moment, we'll skip the line graph this occasion. You can see this presented as a line graph here, with Reddit average as orange, as requested. Suggestions for improvements and additional graphs are welcome.
You can vote for other episodes by clicking on the links below for New Who, adding your score (e.g. 291 (Spyfall, Part One): 5) and hitting send. Scores are whole numbers between 1 to 10, inclusive. (0 is used to mark an episode unwatched.).
I'll be updating these in future posts as the series goes and more people vote and the numbers evolve! You can change your vote for any episode (including any older ones too), if you wish! Simply vote again (leave the rest blank and they'll be unchanged).
You can also view all your scored episodes via this command, which provides a link to score any unrated episodes across the rest of the show. (Vote at your own pace. Leave any blank you don't wish to vote for yet.)
