Scrap Saturday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scrap Saturday was a satirical radio sketch show created by Dermot Morgan, who was also the main performer on the show, and Gerry Stembridge which ran on RTÉ Radio 1 on Saturday mornings from 1989 until 1991. The show lampooned political and cultural figures in Irish society such as Charles Haughey and Pádraig Flynn. The show was very popular with listeners and there were accusations of political interference when it was dropped by RTÉ.^[1]

A 4 CD set of selected extracts from the show was released by RTÉ in 2007, the first two CDs covering general extracts and the second two CDs covering Charles Haughey ("CJ") and P. J. Mara - the two main targets of the show.
