Mr. T is to get his own TV series, called I Pity the Fool, where the A-Team star travels across the US giving people both personal and professional advice.

"My show ain't no Dr. Phil with people sitting around crying," he said. "You're a fool - that's what's wrong with you. You're a fool if you don't take my advice."

The show starts in October and will be shown on the TV Land network.
