Detailed review of ep.4 (includes a response from Rory Reid with some insight into the stance offered by Extra Gear): http://www.autoblog.com/2016/06/20/top-gear-episode-four-review/
BBC website piece on the validity of the non-linear viewing argument; how it differs for various types of programme often depending their majority demographic: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36487069
On an allied note - TG to be moved to 6.30pm if sixth and final episode clashes with an England quarter-final in the Euros: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/22/top-gear-to-abandon-8pm-slot-if-england-qualify-for-euro-2016-qu/ (England must beat Iceland on Monday evening first.)
...And finally, next up for the celeb back-slapping segment: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz-tv/hot-tv/525031/top-gear-greg-davies-giant-ant-and-dec-malina-andersson

Following the filming on the last studio sessions on Thursday (http://www.wonderwall.com/news/patrick-dempsey-and-matt-leblanc-team-up-for-top-gear-1926635.article), the presenters will now be writing for TG mag more: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/top-gear-magazine-gets-boost-8284130
Le Blanc's him or me for next series? https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1342259/get-chris-evans-off-top-gear-or-im-out-warns-friends-star-leblanc/

Yeah, that still wasn't too bad. That Chris and Rory do the serious road tests tells you a lot, that Matt, a comic actor, can deliver funny lines, is hardly a shock, and if Evans passes the baton at the end of this series, it won't hurt the show (depending on who they pass the baton to).
RE: Top Gear - ShandyHand - 28-06-2016 07:11
^ I can't see that happening, however much it might benefit the programme. The guy has a three year contract and the beeb are cash strapped. Don't see Evans walking away gratis.
RE: Top Gear - jimmyt73 - 28-06-2016 08:54
Decent show this week,those two Rolls Royce convertables were my favourite and of the two i would go for the classic one instead of BMW's vision of what one should be like,also good to see Norman Dewis is still around,he is a legend.
RE: Top Gear - Doddle - 28-06-2016 12:54
^^^I preferred the modern one, even though it looks more like a Bentley or something.
Not that I'm likely to own either anyway

TG's overnight ratings and audience share rose for the first time this series with ep.5: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/27/top-gear-gets-back-on-track-as-ratings-rise-by-300000
The beeb are putting in a new producer as boss over Evans for the next series (scheduled to begin filming in September according to several papers this week): http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/684355/BBC-Top-Gear-producer-control-Chris-Evans

Crisis talks to be held with the beeb at the end of this month: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1370677/chris-evans-will-be-told-to-drop-the-tantrums-in-crisis-talks-with-the-beebs-new-big-boss-or-face-being-kicked-to-the-kerb/ (although as the Daily Mail points out the boss in question doesn't start her job officially until September 5).
