Chris Evans has told the Guardian that if his new daytime show for Five is unpopular, he'll sack off telly and become a market trader.
Named after its hosts Terry Wogan and Gaby Roslin, 'The Terry and Gaby Show', begins a 200-episode run on Monday. The show will be Evans' third since his TV comeback last year. Evans' ' Boys and Girls' show for C4 flopped miserably, but Evans said: "We can't go wrong. If we mess this one up we'll have to go and set up a market stall somewhere."
"I don't think Terry or Gaby have been given the offers they want or the respect they deserve from the other channels. Terry is one of the most famous voices on the BBC and he wasn't even approached to be part of their coverage of the golden jubilee. I don't get that."
"The two of them present the biggest television telethon we've got and not to make any more out of that is a bit silly. People say, 'who decided to put Terry and Gaby together', but it was there to be done - anyone could have done it."
