Gone but not forgotten

RTE showed an affectionate tribute to Dermot Morgan on Tuesday night as part of their "True Lives" series (thanks to RTE's bizarrely organised website, I can't find a link to it). It was fairly balanced, and yet another reminder of just how are poor the current crop of Irish comedians.

One question I had (that was not answered by the programme) was why RTE chose to schedule their hottest radio show (Scrap Saturday) at a time when most people were asleep (early on Saturday morning). Even worse, they repeated the programme early on Sunday mornings, just to be sure less people would hear it.

One fan's tribute to Dermot Morgan, photographed in Donegal two years ago.
