So he admits to fiddling the statistics and making the targets so low 
that they were always going to be reached and exceeded.

RTD is a proven serial liar.

I believe the actual numbers and until I see them the best numbers we 
have are from Doomcock and my analysis of them based on the viewing 
patterns of my YouTube channel.

It's never been in their top 10 and their top 10 corresponds to less 
than 2 million views per episode, and only 1% of views on streaming are 
views of the whole episode.

It will depended on how far into the bargain basement the BBC are
