Top Gear is in hot water again, after a rugby club has complained that the show shot on its premises without permission.
However, the BBC motoring programme has responded to the claims by insisting that permission was sought when Chris Evans and co arrived.
Evans (in a red jaguar), Matt LeBlanc (on a Honda motorbike) and Sabine Schmitz (in a blue Audi) were reportedly on site, although no stunts were performed.
A staff member at the rugby club (via the Daily Mail) said that the producer apologised, saying "the crew had been given a piece of paper asking them to film here".
"The variable nature of location filming on Top Gear means that it is not uncommon for permissions to be sought on the day of the shoot itself," a Top Gear spokesperson stated.
"On this occasion, the production team acquired the relevant permissions upon arrival at the location."

Of course, it's not the first time Top Gear has attracted controversy. It drew much criticism after being spotted shooting near the Cenotaph.
Evans has distanced himself from the controversial filming and "apologised unreservedly", admitting that pictures of the car near the Cenotaph looked "entirely disrespectful".
