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.

Exactly what I do - Radio 2 gets turned off whenever this prat comes on.

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 can't stand Chris Evans. Nothing personal I just can't bear his hyperactive say-anything-that-comes-into-your-mind-this-instant style of presenting.

He's not going to be presenting it. No, he's definitely not presenting. Denied it again, no he's emphatically not doing it.

He's doing it.
 
The problem is that Top Gear was crap and boring - nobody was interested, so the BBC canned it.

Then it came back, but after the first series it developed into 'The Clarkson, Hammond and May Show' and it's THIS that was the magic formula and it's this which catapulted Top Gear to worldwide fame.

With three different presenters it becomes a different show with the same name.

Ahh I see how they do it


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.

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 :p
