I Love 1996
TV

Chris Evans


TFI Friday

The show that Chris Evans quit the BBC over.

It was an anarchic, unscripted ramble through new-laddishness and celebrity gossip with a supernatural ability to feature stars just as they were at their hottest.

Jarvis Cocker appeared the night after his "mooning" of Michael Jackson at The Brits, Robbie Williams after his split from Take That, and Gazza after his axing from the England squad.

But, by the end of the decade, the format was looking dated. Evans' popularity was slipping, and new shows were grabbing the limelight. TFI shut up shop at the end of 2000.
