The Dairylea song was theirs (The Shirehorses), Travis just sat and giggled through it and only joined in for the last round of the chorus. But they did play a parody tribute of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know', called 'After Mark and Lard Go', which was very well written-funny, sad, and tongue-in-cheek all at the same time. They had quite a few bands etc. who had recorded goodbye and goodluck messages, but my favourite of them all was from The Stereophonics. This was a band which M&L always made clear they thought was godawful, and obviously the Stereophonics had been made aware of this, because Kelly's message to them wasn't in keeping with the other 'you're brilliant, we'll miss you type messages' that had been played out, but it was totally in keeping with the tone of the show.
So I think that Chris should have a few similar send-off messages for his final show. I''m nominating Nicola from Girls Aloud, Halle Berry, and Ben Summerskill (the infamous Stonewall guy) to start with.
). I'd like to think they get Roy live in the studio. A summing up of the marathon show would go down well.
