The new Top Gear has been seemingly plagued with endless bad news: falling ratings, poor feedback, and even rumours Matt LeBlanc may be quitting the show.
For the first time in this series, ratings have climbed; particularly heartening after the previous episode’s record low.
Ratings now stand at over 300,000 viewers higher; up from 2.34 million (10.4% share of the audience) to 2.68 million (12.5%).
Matt LeBlanc, however, joked that he took up co-hosting duties because he “needed a job”, but he insisted the entire experience has been “a lot of fun”.
