It was presented by Seán Bán Breathnach and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú. There were also two young reporters, Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí and Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, who went around the country looking for lively stories.
‘Scaoil Amach an Bobailín’ was first broadcast on 7 October 1990 and ran until 1992.

Goats Don't Shave, They do in my town, they wear fine cotton shirts and flowery ties and are respected by all they meet. They go to all the dances for miles around at weekends and have the very best times. After they head back home and head out into the hills to graze on the very best grass and tell each other stories until the week-end when the fun starts all over again
