Sir, - Of course RTE did not "axe" Scrap Saturday. Of course there was no political pressure. The official record says so. Therefore it did not happen. But many people know how and why Frank Hall's Pictorial Weekly was also "axed" - sorry, not continued. It offended politicians of a certain persuasion. Frank himself told many journalists how the axe was wielded. But curiously the story does not seem to have been published. - Yours, etc.,
