I actually wrote/produced an advert for the first Millennium Magic (was my job, not just being weird) - used a load of excitable commentary from local BBC radio, from the likes of George Riley ("MCGUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!) etc - Sounded tops. But the RFL had blown their budget on putting signs in fields by the side of the M5 etc.
A true, but very dull story.
Apologies for that.
Pass the ginger-nuts, eh? Ta.

1st and 2nd Man - 'Walk away laughing'
