Last Episode
The object was to "put the last nail in the coffin of a long-running radio or television show and close the series in one line". For example, Willie concluded Thunderbirds with "Brains says it's terminal Dutch elm disease" and Tim concluded The Two Ronnies with "It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from her".
A variation involved unexpected or premature endings to well-known plays or films. Graeme obliged with "Godot! I wasn't expecting you so soon."

Famous quotes containing the word episode:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
