Review of the Week

Mailbag is an Irish TV programme which was presented by Arthur Murphy and broadcast on RTÉ One for a fourteen-year period, from 1982 to 1996.[1]

The presentation, which was initially 10 minutes in length,[2] dealt with viewers letters concerning RTÉ TV programmes and broadcasting in general.[3] The programme later became established in a half-hour Saturday-evening time slot.[4]

Murphy repeated the Mailbag concept into the 2010s, broadcasting an "E-mail Bag" segment on Today FM radio's The Ray D'Arcy Show.[5]
