RE: Top Gear - The Silent Majority - 11-06-2016 07:04

I thought the second show was much better. The challenges work better as a 3-way (if nothing else it dilutes the Evans factor) but please let it be Sabine next time, and not Eddie 'comatose' Jordan bladewave. Le-blanc looked genuinely pissed off with Eddie when he made him give the keys to Sharleen laugh

On the subject of viewing figures I heard an ex channel 4 executive talking about Evans take on them, on the radio. He reckoned that counting the viewing figures from the i-player, repeats etc might be ok for the BBC, but it wouldn't hold water if he was working for a commercial station. Commercial stations still get 90% of their revenue from adverts on first broadcasts, so overnight viewing figures are the only ones that matter.

Are they actually showing the controversial episode?


RE: Top Gear - ShandyHand - 12-06-2016 08:29

Production team supposedly want 'fan fav' Jensen Button for series 2: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/top-gear-want-jenson-button-8167507 (also includes bits on other proposed changes).

The Whitehall footage is in tonight's ep - minus the controversial Cenotaph shots. The beeb paid The Met nearly £6500 to police that shoot (FOI figures recently disclosed): http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/top-gear-bosses-blew-6500-8169626

With Euro2016 on tonight - viewing figures of less than 2 million?


RE: Top Gear - ShandyHand - 12-06-2016 12:20

^ Euro matches that clash with TG:

12/6 Germany v Ukraine (Group C) on BBC One / BBC One HD
19/6 Romania v Albania (Group A) on BBC Four / BBC Four HD
& Switzerland v France (Group A) on BBC One / BBC One HD
26/6 Winners of Group F v Runners Up of Group E on TBC
3/7 Quarter Final 4 (Winners of last two Round of 16 games) on TBC

If TG could have made its original launch date the series would be nearing it's end now and average viewing figures would, no doubt, have been higher.

weak link is still chris and the the live stuff. would have prefered Sabine doing the road test of the new audi A8 instead of another cameo seems shes only needed when chris has to drive really fast

Overnights for ep.3 were just under 2.4mil (thought to be lower than those for any Clarkson episode): https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/jun/13/top-gear-viewing-figures-fall-to-new-low
