During a recent episode of his Virgin Radio show, Chris Evans, 53, was joined by Sophie Rundle, 31, who plays Anne Walker in BBC’s new drama Gentleman Jack. After introducing Sophie, he told the actress he had watched the first episode of the drama with the help of his connections at the BBC. “I watched Gentleman Jack episode one,” he began, before revealing he still has access to a sneak preview BBC website. He added: “It’s on the sneak preview BBC website, which they still let me look at.”
After his revelation, the pair went on to say discuss the show, with Chris praising Suranne Jones’ performance in the drama.
He also informed Sophie the programme will take over Line of Duty’s slot in the channel’s schedule.
Chris then quizzed her about the crime drama - whose fifth series recently finished - which she insisted was “nothing” like Gentleman Jack.
He went on to ask her if she understood the drama’s plot after informing her his co-host Vassos Alexander was convinced viewers didn’t understand what was going on.
Sophie replied: “Did I figure it out? Never.”
