The Mark Austin's Catchphrase thread

"Thats all for now...wanna see Nina Hossain lapdancing on the newsdesk? Turn over to the ITV News Channel for a full viewing."

"Right, that's your lot, bugger off somewhere else you tart."
or
"I was paid to do this, what was your excuse?"

It's 4am, what do you want of me?

"And that's your news tonight. Tune in tomorrow for some of mine."

Seeing as we have a spare few seconds heres a catchphrase say what you see

That was the Nighlty News where we hope you had time to Muse over the News

That had me in stitches

"That was the news for thickos. Word"

or

"Here's where I'd normally tell you to watch the ITV News Channel. Nevermind"

"So, all in all, a pretty piss poor day... Still - on the bright side - there's always tomorrow, eh?"

Loving this thread.

How about a visual catchphrase, we just see the camera crane thing knock him out as the end credits roll.

How about a simple Gordon Honeycombe style wave to the camera? Maybe not!

Mark used to like dropping his papers on the desk as the closing music hits the last note, that doesn't happen quite as much now. But its just a small thing that people notice and get use to seeing.

I wouldn't want to see him try to create any sort of phrase, that would just never work.

"And next on the ITV News Ch...... oh, sorry, there isn't one."

"Over on ITV2 right now (cocks head to right) is Coronation Street, while over on ITV3 (cocks head further), Rising Damp. On ITV4 (cocks head even further), Shaft, and on the ITV News Channel..(violently throws head eastwards, knocks himself out on desk)"
