00:00Um, I still think I even should have got the gig myself.
00:02Oh, you'd have been brilliant, yeah?
00:03Yeah, yeah.
00:04Nobody knows more about football.
00:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:06Or maybe Gary Lineker, I don't know.
00:07Absolutely.
00:08You see, but again, they also do this ridiculous thing in the BBC.
00:11It's always been the case, try and get a younger audience.
00:15So what does that mean?
00:16Do you get a younger host?
00:18Yeah.
00:18And younger people don't watch television.
00:20So why are they wasting their time?
00:22They do much of the day, though, don't they?
00:23No.
00:23People do still tune in.
00:24They watch it on Sunday morning in bed with a hangover or whatever.
00:26No, they don't.
00:26They watch it on their phones and they watch it on devices.
00:29They're so different.
00:29Yeah, that's right.
00:30And the thing is, how is that going to go?
00:33Is it going to be a situation where, if it's a different host, they're not going to bother?
00:37There's something about it being an institution that you will watch it on a Saturday?
00:40Well, we'll see.
00:41But it's the end of the season, he'll leave, but he'll stay at the BBC.
00:44And then we'll present right up until the World Cup, so he'll do all the live stuff.
00:47Best thing about much of the day?
00:48Music.
00:49Yeah.
