to the format. The show drew criticism for the frequent absence and substition of the two titular hosts; the show's highest ever ratings came when Wogan was not present, and replaced by Jimmy Tarbuck. When Roslin was unavailable, she was usually replaced by Jenny Powell. Other substitute hosts included Les Dennis, Lionel Blair, Linda Barker, Donny Osmond (on the day of Children in Need), Danny Baker, and Richard Whiteley. The low ratings led to the show being axed after 200 episodes. The 199th episode featured Anne Robinson as a guest in her first television appearance since an alleged facelift (which Robinson denied), leading to substantial coverage of Robinson's appearance on the show in the following day's newspapers. The last episode of The Terry & Gaby Show was broadcast on 26 March 2004, and was reported as the latest in a series of unsuccessful productions by Chris Evans' production company UMTV. The last show ended with a footage of Evans standing at a market stall eating an apple, a reference to remarks from Evans on the show's launch that he would return to running a fruit & veg stall if the program failed.
