Where do they make these ratings up from then
Certain people/houses get boxes that record what they're watching, how many are watching etc, then they scale that up to the whole population

^Yeah, you will watch it. You'll give it ago... I stake my reputation on it.
What reputation?

Did someone text you that?
A welcome change in my opinion. Top Gear, for me, had gotten boring and more than a little one-dimensional. I only watched it as the photography was stunning at times. Can't imagine Clarkson had much to do with that side of things.

Nice
Because Chris Evans doesnt give you aids?
He wont give you aids, he will bore you in to an early death
They don't have someone sat with their ear to your door checking what you're watching, you know

No but it counts towards ratings if I watch it live on the TV, or live on the internet
Wouldnt want to give them the satisfaction, not that im going to make a difference, its principals

Being a special case they'll be watching his every move and reporting here.

Internet yes, TV no. How would they know what you're watching?
Ahh I see how they do it
So they select a number of households, then gauged on what they watch, they then estimate / think the rest of the UK have the same oppinions which is where they come to these millions of views
Since 1981, we at the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (BARB) have been delivering the official viewing figures for UK television audiences. We commission research companies Ipsos MORI, Kantar Media and RSMB to collect data that represent the viewing behaviour of the UK’s 26 million TV households.
BARB viewing data offer clients, such as broadcasters and advertisers, a minute by minute breakdown of viewing at regional and national levels. This information is vital for assessing how programmes, channels or advertising campaigns have performed and provides the basis for airtime advertising trading.
In order to estimate viewing patterns across all TV households, a carefully selected panel of private homes is recruited. The Establishment Survey is carried out continuously by Ipsos MORI in order to track changes in UK household characteristics. From this we can ascertain the types of households we need on our panel to make sure it is representative of the whole of the UK. We then recruit households to be on the panel that suit the necessary demographics, TV platforms and geography, as well as other variables. The BARB panel consists of 5100 households, which each represent about 5000 other households across the UK.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It pains me to say it, I can't (or couldn't) stand Chris Evans, but actually, his BBCR2 Radio show isn't all that bad and he certainly knows his cars, well, Ferraris.
That said, I'm not sure I could watch him. Regardless of your views or opinions on Clarkson, he made that show work and the only reason I might now watch it is actually for the cars, as long as the format doesn't change.
28th June will be a big one!

I came very late to Top Gear (S13) because I can't get passionate about bits of metal that get you from A to B but I had to watch an episode at a mates house and very quickly identified with the childishness of the 3 Presenters and became a fan of them.
I'll give Evans & Co a chance but it would be like replacing The Goodies with 3 new characters.

Seems Chris Evans is creating a niche for himself piggybacking on other people's success - Terry Wogan's Radio 2 Breakfast show, Adrian Childs on The One Show and now Clarkson on Top Gear. Needles to say, just as I stopped listening to Radio 2 in the mornings and watching The One Show on Friday's, I won't be watching new Top Gear.
