31 Days In May: part 31

One final set of questions.

Who uttered the last words to be broadcast on:
1) TV-am
2) Thames Television
3) The Big Breakfast
4) Mark Radcliffe's Radio 1 graveyard shift
5) Eldorado?

Thanks to everyone who's joined in this bit of nonsense during the month.

Crikey, fantastic question... Not sure about the first two, but;

3) I remember the end of the final episode, but can only recall a general rabble including the likes of Mike McClean, the worst presenter in the world. Sorry :(
4) I remember Tiny Tears was the last track played - Does that mean the last voice was Stuart Staples? Or was there a final closing exchange which ended with Lard talking to Clare Sturgess? Bet-hedge-tastic!
5) I think it was Marcus's fancy piece.

I think that (1) was Mike Morris?

4) Mark & Lard left a week before the show offically finished. Stuart Maconie deputised for the final week and his was the last voice heard.

I demand a 31 (well, 30) days in June!

Mike Morris was indeed the last voice to be heard on TV-am. Richard Dunn, boss of Thames, was the final one to speak on the nights of its demise. You're right there was a undignified hubbub at the end of The Big Breakfast; I always thought Richard Bacon had the last word. Stuart Maconie signed off on the graveyard shift in Radcliffe's absence. And as for Eldorado...well, I'd assumed it was Marcussssssssssssss Tandy.
