Chris Evans's newly-revamped Top Gear has slipped to a new ratings low, after Sunday's episode was seen by fewer viewers than any episode since Jeremy Clarkson revived the show in 2002.

An audience of 2.34 million tuned in to this week's outing of the motoring show, less than the lowest audience posted by Clarkson, of 2.36 million, in June 2003.

The audience will rise over the next week, as catch-up viewing is taken into account, but viewing figures for the rebooted Top Gear have been disappointing.
