So, it would appear that iPod shuffle has served up Mark'n'Lards final show. Excellent 🙂
Fancy a brew?
Am I the only person who found them completely un-funny.
Stop-Carry on
Slim shady the squirrel
etc.
Even Scott Mills made me laugh, Greg James on the other hand is a bit rubbish with a handfull of not very good ideas nicked form other shows done badly.
Stop
Carry On 😀
🙂

Probably not, there are bound to be others, but you're all wrong
Is it...?
My daughters maths teacher is called Mr Protheroe. Always makes me smile - he looks about 20 so I didn't bother explaining why I kept grinning at memories of Protheroe the ghost at parents evening.
Comedy gold.
(spits tea everywhere)I was having a drink then!
Where are Skell Nontch and Erk Dray??

mustn't grumble 😀
Loved them to bits and the day they left R1 was the day the station effectively died.
Cant stand Moyles and Ferne (Awesome) Cotton.
...Lard's Animal Sanctuary?
I think I might get rid of the campervan and buy a soft-top Bedford Rascal

this. very possibly the finest radio show ive ever heard. closely followed by radcliffe and maconie on radio2. havent listened to radio2 in the evening since they were dropped for the witless moron that is jo whiley.
It did get a bit stale towards the end - still the best show evar though.
Cheesily Cheerful Chart Challenge anyone?

+1. I thought Radcliffe and Maconie were excellent 🙁
Do you not listen to them on 6 music in the afternoon then? Its even better! Everything stops in our place for Tea-Time Theme time at half three
M+L were IMHO, the funniest thing ever on Radio 1. Ive got a few Fat Harry White clips on my compo, must have another listen cos they still crack me up. Some of the stuff they got away with was amazing.
MMMMMMMMBaby
see its a sign of the times i thought mark and lard were a crock of shite.
where as i quite like moyles and his lot in a mindless remove my brain kind of way when i ride to work !
much prefer to listen to planet rock or certain shows on absolute radio (dave gorman on sundays)how ever i cant get them on my nokia c3
I'm a miserable bah humbug bastard, and I loved them.
Loved M+L on R1, I was often late to work when they were on on a morning. I'd get there on time, but would sit in the car in the carpark till they finished 😉
Liked R+M on an evening on R2 but rarely listen to them on 6m. I listen to 6m a lot, but I get no work done if they're on 🙂
I'm clearly more professional now than I was 12-15 years ago!

Oh i don't know,
I seem to remember something about a old boiler in the corner of the bath room with a gushing crack!
It was a job for Tony the plumber!
Anybody got a link to an mp3 of the final show?
Back off the mike
Must... get... some... oil... for... the... door...
Binners I remember all of us being in the car once (probably on our way to glasto or something) and being really confused why my dad was literally crying with laughter about someones back passage.
I discovered them 2003 during summer holiday. 😆
Seperatly on their own they're quite brill..
But together.. nahhhh.
Loved 'em but somehow (wonder if this is also reflected in the non-likers above*) our friends south of the Watford gap really did not connect with them at all?
* wholly appreciate that personal taste comes into it - for example, i could never, ever, tire of slapping Frankie Boyle, some folk here will, of course find him hilarious.... but i do recall, in our circle of friends, a distinct southern bias to those who did not gel with M+L...
For all the BBC's attempts to have funny acts on during the afternoon (Steve Wright...), M&L were the best. But what made them great is the Radcliffe is a superb DJ and Riley was a bassist in The Fall).
And, of course, they both remain inestimable on their separate shows on 6Music. Most evenings I cook dinner with Marc (with a C, one L) Riley.

I'm a dyed in the wool southerner, I get nose bleeds north of Tiverton, so your theory is bollocks.
When I lived in Soton, all my mates were locals from New Milton and Christchurch, they loved em too!
Liked them when they were on in the evening,but hated them when they moved to the morning slot.Even Radcliffe said their show didn't work in the morning,don't think it was helped by the fact he had to play sh1te mainstream music either.......
Last time this came up, someone posted a link to a website that had a ton of thier material on it, including many of the tunes from that Antique vinyl skit.
I agree, some of the stuff could get a bit old, but in general (I am Scot, and not all Scots liked them) I found them utterly fabulous. Brilliant.
When i went to that link last time me and the missus spent a good 30 minutes with tears pouring down our faces. Fabulous.
5 pounds? it's a lotta cash!
Oh, and not forgetting:
"SHALL I BACK OFF THE MIC A BIT"
"I'm not gay or owt..."
Butch Schlong and Snatch Frigate on American Sports Network W.A.N.K Cinncinnatti!!
havent listened to radio2 in the evening since they were dropped for the witless moron that is jo whiley.
Me also.
cannot express how funny these guys are, t'was a travesty when they stopped em for that colin n edith pish. Raddcliffe n maconie was nearly there but not quite, still a million times better than that wittering bint jo whiley tho.
Lards animal sanctuary, 'Its got a pooey bottom'
Shirehorses anyone... ? remember their Status Quo cover... ?
Mark and Lard, witty banter and comedy gold.... I cant belive the actually got away with a lot of the stuff they put across the airwaves..
Never been able to bring myself to listen to the Presenters Graveyard that is Radio 2, but my God they were funny on Radio 1!
I vividly remember their last ever show, me and a couple of mates listening along as we drove down for a late afternoon/evening ride in the FOD. Letting the silence drag on long enough at the end of the show to cue Radio 1's auto play mechanism, which then ran 15 minutes into the next show, was brilliantly funny!
Im going for a reverse sweep
Pure filth!
Fantastic!
Whoooooooooooooooooooo
I can remember a Fat Harry skit that had him in the French patisserie. Croissant neuf 😆
Classic radio
