She was one of several presenters for the BBC's 2000 Today, a 28-hour long programme to see in the year 2000. Amazingly, she was the only presenter to stay on air for the duration of the programme.

In 2003, Roslin switched allegiances to Five where she co-hosted The Terry and Gaby Show with Children in Need co-presenter Terry Wogan. The magazine format could not compete with ITV's similar and long-established This Morning programme and the show ended after 200 episodes on 26 March 2004.

In 2004, she also teamed up with Terry Wogan to co-host the first edition of Eurovision – Making Your Mind Up, the revamped successor to A Song for Europe, the UK's long-running pre-selection show for the Eurovision Song Contest. However, for the 2005 and 2006 editions, her place was taken by Natasha Kaplinsky.
