Mark and Lard was the stage name of Mark Radcliffe (Mark) and Marc Riley (Lard) when they worked together as BBC Radio 1 disc jockeys. Mark and Lard joined Radio 1 in October 1993 and left in March 2004. The pair moved to Radio 1 from BBC Radio 5's evening ''Hit the North'' programme, where Radcliffe was presenter and Riley had progressed from researcher to producer. Mark & Lard began their Radio 1 career presenting the late-night "graveyard shift" (10pm to midnight) in October 1993, taking over from Nicky Campbell who had previously occupied the slot. They then moved to the coveted ''The Radio 1 Breakfast Show'' in February 1997, replacing Chris Evans. However, this only lasted eight months (with the exception of Mark Goodier, they have the shortest tenure of any presenters in this slot). The pair then moved to an early afternoon slot, where they remained until 2004. During this time they broadcast out of BBC Radio Manchester studios, unlike the majority of the station's London-based content at the time. Phone-in spoof quizzes were made popular on the show, such as "It's a Sausage Roll", "Circle of Chance" and "Fish or Fowl". Other items on the show included "Downcount", "Lard's Classic Cuts" and "Beat the Clock". The pair also used catchphrases such as "Biggedy Biggedy Bong", "Stop.... carry on!", "By Jovi", "Cabbage Garden" and "Wickedy Wickedy Warp". 'Fat Harry White' (Radcliffe with a vocoder) was also a regular on the show, a thinly disguised parody of soul singer Barry White, this character was so successful he was given his own CD in 1998, entitled 'Mmmmm Baby' (which was also his catchphrase) - it peaked at number 83 in the UK charts. ==Shirehorses== Mark and Lard are also the creators of the spoof rock band "The Shirehorses", who released two CD albums: *''The worst album...in the world...ever...EVER!'' *''Our Kid, Eh?'' The title is a combination of the contemporary Radiohead album ''Kid A'', and the northern phrase 'our Kid'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark and Lard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
