Seeing as Mark Austin is looking for a new catchphrase for when he takes over the ITV Nightly News in January, I thought it would be most helpful if we were to give a few suggestions.

Here are some I came up with:
"That was the news. Happy now?" (Day Today inspiration there)
"Night, yer b*stards."
"Sweet dreams, cherubs."
"That was the news, have a good snooze." (My personal favourite)
"Peace out, me homies."

Admittedly they're not very good, but let's have a whipround and see what anyone else can come up with.

Please note: This thread is purely for comedy purposes. Please do not attempt to post boring ones like "A very good evening to you." That's not very funny.

Something offbeat, like

"Right, I'm off. Bye".

Will probably do. He'll just want to go home by then...

That's the best so far.

"...and that was the Nightly News live each night, and how can I prove we're live? PENIS! Goodnight."


(confused people consult The Simpsons episode... something.)
