things said in the past about BBC Scotland’s comedy output a lot at critical tongues were stopped wagging with the inception ot Naked Radio. A huge hit both on the airwaves and at the Edinburgh Festival, Naked Radio has a reputation tor being wickedly lunny and sometimes controversial. Undeniany the strongest satirical team ever assembled in Scotland, Naked Radio
can make Spitting image look tlaccld
and their victims in the past have
included Mr Happy and the Scottish
iootball team. As part of Maytest they are recording a special show at the Tron at lunchtime on Wed 7 May. Never content with a static performance, Naked Radio works as a show ratherthan a bland recording,

and the atmosphere at the Tron is always good, with the audience loving the mistakes as much as the jokes. The cast have warned that they will have Maytest in mind during the recording so look out tor some punctured, artistic egos. May also sees a new move tor Naked Radio when they become Naked Video for a networked television series on BBC2 beginning on May12. It they prove as popular nationally as they have been in Scotland, Britain may soon have a worthy successor to Not the Nine D’Clock News.
