Debuting on Saturday 11 October 1986, this primetime Saturday evening comedy series from LWT featured a comedy ensemble comprising rising stars Gareth Hale, Norman Pace, Kate Robbins and Gary Wilmot.
Upbeat sketches included a Glaswegian take on PlaySchool, parodies of popular TV shows (including Howard’s Keel and The Weeny) and a weekly serial entitled Quest for the Fountain of Hair Growth.
The shows also featured comedic songs including We’re the Wallies and Sexy English Lady.
Two series of Saturday Gang were produced, acting as a springboard to success for Hale and Pace who were given their own successful show shortly afterwards.
