The figures highlight the huge popularity of Top Gear and the difficulty the BBC will have in re-inventing the show without Clarkson and May, the latter saying he would not return to the motoring show without Clarkson. The BBC “postponed” the last three episodes of the current series because filming could not be completed without Clarkson, and said earlier this week that it will attempt to air the unaired footage, potentially as an edited special. The BBC’s decision to suspend, and subsequently drop, Clarkson following his fracas with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon has made the latest series of the BBC2 motoring show something of a must-watch on the catch-up TV service.Įpisodes six and seven of the latest series, the last episodes completed of the 10-part series before Clarkson was suspended, attracted more than 3.6m streams or downloads on the iPlayer last month.Įpisode six drew 2.17m viewing requests while Episode seven managed 1.48m. The final two episodes of Top Gear to air with the presenting trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond proved to be the most popular programmes viewed on the BBC’s iPlayer last month.
