BBC addresses claims of audience complaints in new Top Gear episode
The BBC has defended the first episode of the new Top Gear fronted by Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc following reports that leaked audience data showed hundreds of complaints.
A number of criticisms have been levelled at the new format of the show, including jokes made by Evans at Clarkson’s expense which prompted backlash from fans.
The live episode also failed to reach the heights achieved when Clarkson was at the helm. Evans’ first foray in charge drew 4.4 million viewers, with a peak of 4.7 million, while the last series finished with 5.8 million.
