As well as being watched by millions around the UK on television, the programme was also being followed by thousands using social media site Twitter. Using the hash tag #bbcqt, user were able to comment on what they were watching and debate what was being said.

But perhaps the most touching moment of the show came right at the end in the programme's credits, where Sir Christopher Wren was given a nod for set design. This briefly saw him become one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter as the show ended.
