Chris Evans said Top Gear was ‘repositioning the way’ people watch TV.
 
Summary:
 
The Sunday night audience for the long-running motoring show fell to 2.8 million at the weekend, down from 4.3 million viewers for the opening show the previous Sunday. But there was encouragement for Evans and his BBC bosses after the consolidated audience for the first outing, which includes people who recorded it and watched it in the subsequent seven days, boosted the opening show’s audience by nearly 50%, to 6.4 million. Evans accused his critics on Monday of living in the past for not taking into account catch-up viewing and how the show was “repositioning the way” people watch TV.
