I've recorded it, so that's good to know.

I assume there is some way they incorporate those into the overall statistics. I remember Chris Evans telling everyone they shouldn't read too much into the 'live' viewing figures for Top Gear because the way people consume TV has changed with more use of recording and the iPlayer. I'm not sure how they count the number of people who watched something while it was broadcast, but they must be able to track hits/viewings on iPlayer.
