Fans of the popular BBC TV show Top Gear won't be surprised to learn that the premier of its latest season also had a dramatic impact on broadband BBC iPlayer (Web-based Internet TV) usage among several UK ISPs, including PlusNet . The episode featured a dramatic unveiling of THE STIG, a masked race driver whom has been with the series for some years, which contributed to the show’s popularity.
