["Mark Goodacre" <M.S.GOODACRE AT bham.ac.uk>]

Since no-one else has mentioned it yet, one of the greats is of course 
Nineham's Penguin commentary on Mark, much better than Fenton 
on Matthew and Marsh on John and far, far better than Caird on 
Luke.  If I remember rightly, John Muddiman once wrote a nice 
appreciative article about it, called something like "An Owl in the 
Desert".

And since no-one else is likely to mention it (unless Jeff Peterson is on 
the list), there is the much underrated _A Study in St Mark_ by Austin 
Farrer.

That would be my candidate for the worst ever on Mark -- no 
question about it.
