On Tuesday week last, RTÉ’s Network 2 was due to screen – after the 10.30 news and weather – the first edition of Newshounds, a new satirical comedy series from the Scrap Saturday merchants, Dermot Morgan and Gerry Stembridge. The duo were to feature as writers and performers, and former Nighthawks star Ann Marie Hourihane was to have a central comic role. But the show never went out: it was pulled and replaced with a filler called Yum, Yum, Yum – “a celebration of Cajun and Creole cooking in Louisiana”.
