Even in the last 6-7 years there has been a marked decline, but the BBC has access to iPlayer stats that BARB does not.
Top Gear is immensely popular. It is shown in goodness knows how many countries worldwide and the format has been franchised and remade in others. It really is not past its sell by date and the BBC is going to try extremely hard to re-cast, re-invent and re-start it as soon as possible.

Yes l did forget about that so perhaps l have over estimated its demise a bit.
