Is Dolly Parton’s greatest song actually a resignation letter? Is any internet hype real because of clipping culture? Who will take over the wheel for the Top Gear reboot?

Tributes are rolling in for Queen of Country Dolly Parton, who sadly passed away last week. Marina and Richard discuss her legacy as an entertainment mogul and businesswoman. 

Shorter clips of long-form content are everywhere at the moment. Is anything on your feed actually popular, or is it just stealth marketing?

Top Gear is back, Blind Date has a new host, and the Rooneys have their own documentary series. Richard gives you the ultimate rundown of the shows hitting your screens this autumn. 

The Rest is Entertainment is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain's most awarded energy supplier.
