Recurring Themes
There were a number of recurring motifs in the show, namely an apparent obsession with football pundit Mark Lawrenson, and curiously the Dyson Airblade hand dryer. Since then, Mark Lawrenson has actually become involved with the show himself, firstly recording the feature 'Lawro's Top 3', in which the ex-footballer stated his own top three choices in a particular category e.g. sandwich fillings, and then Russell and Jon guessed in which order he rated them, and later in a more surreal sketch revolving around a new fantasy book that he has supposedly written named Lawro and the Warlocks of Doom. The presenters also share a hatred of 5Live presenter Stephen Nolan.

Famous quotes related to recurring themes:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
