I didn't think that Saturday detentions were even legally allowed.
If you can back that up, then i will honour you forever!
I've just done a bit of research on this.
It turns out that some Saturday detentions are actually legal,
but they seem easy to get out of. Take a look at this page for some interesting information (the saturdays bit is towards the bottom):

Early morning, Saturday and holiday 'detentions'
22 The law allows schools to use detentions other than at lunchtime or after school. For Saturday morning, early morning, or holiday detentions which pupils attend voluntarily, there can be no question of false imprisonment. Such detentions depend on the co-operation both of the pupil and parent.
