I was so sad when Mark 'n' Lard left the graveyard shift - they were the
only radio programme i was ever devoted to - remember Classical Gas?  now
that was the funniest thing i've ever heard on the radio. 
plus - they were the only really popular outlet of poetry for new poets
like Simon Armitage, John Hegley, Ian Macmillan, etc - it's a great shame
that that's all gone now.

And, they never spoke over records - compare the B&S sessions on their show
and the Evening Session sessions - Steve Lamacq, without fail, will talk
over the introduction and last 30 seconds of every song he plays... now
that annoys me
