The Mark Austin's Catchphrase thread

"...and that's what Huw Edwards didn't tell you tonight, so goodnight."

either:

"Are we still on?"

or

"Thanks to both of you tuning in, we'll be back at the same time tomorrow. There WILL be cake. G'night all."

He could perhaps add a daily random word to a standard closing sentence. This would make people tune in.

Monday: "That was Monday's Nightly News bracket, good night".
Tuesday: "That was Tuesday's Nightly News splash, good night".

etc

"Over on the news channel now there's um... cars and pornography!"

"Let's all go home and think about what happened here tonight."

Well with the prospect of Mark doing the news and Felicity doing the sport, maybe they'll abandon the idea of having a closing line and they'll just have a play fight instead. Or maybe Mark will take his mask off to reveal that he's actually a stunning blonde lady.

Or they end with a jolly game of tennis.

"That was was today tonight, from all of us here good evening and thank you for watching."

I like the 'today tonight' bit. And it also incorporates his current 'thank you for watching', which although he doesn't want to use when he takes over, I think is very good and different to other presenters sign offs.

How about a jolly good seeing to?

Are you asking me or suggesting a closing sequence?

"And now Britain... you know the news. Suckers."

Maybe he could do a Terrence and Phillip style thing where he trumps a few times and then laughs at his own flatulence. Just a suggestion.

Some good ideas coming here, I'm real proud of y'all.
