Yup. Only on BBC1 in England (& the live iPlayer stream).
Not in Wales, not in Scotland, not on BBC HD.

As well as Simon Pegg & Charlie Brooker commenting on it via Twitter (links earlier), here's what Matthew Graham (executive producer of Ashes To Ashes) had to say:

Fine episode apart from that. Some double or triple episodes I have seen in various SciFi shows feel like they have stretched the story of one episode to fit in two or three. This really didn't. If anything, the first episode felt like it had too much in it.

I would hope that, given the sheer level of anger this has generated, they will realise that it's best not to do it again...
The BBC is not Sky. It's not ITV. It's not some stupid US Network. It's the bloody BBC. We expect better, and deserve better, from our publicly funded public service broadcaster, especially when it is showing its flagship Saturday evening show on its main channel. To have an on-screen banner at any time is ridiculous enough as it is, but to have one pop up right at the climax of the episode, spoiling the tension & immersion, is utter stupidity.
Very good episode though, yep. Raises some interesting questions too regarding River.
