I'm quite shocked at what these two have done to be honest.

I find both of them funny, and i dont have big opinions about any possible punishment but i am surprised that they would go this far and be so stupid

You can listen to it here.

I cant stand Russel Brand, and I'm so suprised Radio 2 even gives this bloke his own radio show. How he gone so long without someone walking up to him and punching his lights out I'll never know, I'd certainly love to do it.

Is Andrew Sachs' granddaughter famous or something

Didnt think you would

Firstly I want to say I am really surprised at Jonathon Ross, the man is one of the few truly sharp, witty guys out there anymore and he does not need to stoop to these levels.

As for Brand...........well I hate him anyway. The incident earlier this year where he rang the police onstage at one of his shows was bad enough but this is just as bad. If he had any genuine talent he'd be able to pull in audiences without relying on cheap stunts at the expense of others to get attention.

Not big, not clever and certainly not funny.

Oh yeah i remember that now. I was shocked he did that too. Incredibly stupid and definitely not comedy

I've listened to the clip and I fail to see what caused all the fuss.
Maybe I’m just more acceptable than other people, but I don't see anything excessively wrong with what was said.

I just think it was too personal. It doesnt matter that it was against Andrew Sachs it could have been any 78 year old grandfather, or any father for that matter.

Imagine how you would feel if you retrieved messages on your mobile phone or landline answering machine, where somebody not only insinuated sexually provocative incidents with your granddaughter but declared them to an audience of thousands (I understand the clip was broadcast late in the evening), I'd go f*****g apesh1t.

The BBC are on the ropes too after they admitted that despite the clips being vetted "by a senior editorial source" it was still broadcast.

This story was headline news on the ITN news this evening cos the politicians have been giving their opinions. As i've said, i think they were wrong in what they did but headline news? FFS its been blown out of all proportion now

Just how much of the media interest is down to Brand and Ross' antics as opposed to it being done on the BBC is questionable to me. Had it been on any other radio station I doubt the interest would have been this amplified!

You've hit that nail full square on its head, I believe.

Ross of course was also revealed recently to have been earning an astonishingly huge salary, which was also criticised. I don't know if the BBC's got it's money-worth recenty

Although i think thats irrelevant, i saw on the ITN news last night that she's a model. This is her here. She's a member of a dance group called Satanic Sluts

A simple apology would have been enough, schoolboy stuff from Brand and Ross. But the witch hunt that has followed is laughable all the celebrities with an axe to grind and all the "angrys of Tunbridge Wells" have come out to have a go and feel superior to everyone else. Still don't they always

Suspended Deary me

To be fair he was meant to be there for an interview, the guy didnt show up they filled there time slot.

I can understand its upsetting but russell brand... its expected of him so i personally wouldnt care if i got that call.

It's all out of proportion... and they were only telling the truth in the end

You couldn't be more right - this shows that for six days after the show went out, there were two complaints about language at the time. It wasn't until a Daily Mail article almost a week later that complaints started to pour in - eg Tuesday it was 10,000; a day later, 27,000 (!!).

So what were all these people doing when the show was broadcast and what are they complaining about now?

The person I think who should lose his job is the person who ok'd that part of the show for broadcast, because clearly went too far and someone should have realised that.

Fair? its not like he said he'd turn up but didnt. He told them he couldnt be there in advance. And even if he did just not turn up, that doesnt mean he could expect that sort of abuse down the phone and for the recordings to go out on air when he didnt want them to

It was agreed by Sachs and the producer that those recordings wouldnt go on air, but they did


Yes i agree


Good old Daily Mail I cant believe there has been so many complaints. Its ridiculous.

Russel Brand has gone and thrown a hissy fit about it. Heard on the radio last night, that he's resigned from doing his Radio 2 Program.

On a side note, who cares?! While I was listening to the radio last night, this subject got more air time than a poor bloke that got murdered. The thing that makes it worse is that on every website I visit, I can't find this murder story to link back to here, yet on every single on of them, they've got this fiasco on the front page.

I wondered if he'd resigned out of annoyance or something. But is that actually the case?

Well i was on the minibus on the way to snowboarding last night at about 6ish, and we were listening to Radio 1 with Greg James (Filling in for Scott Mills), and thats what they were saying.

Apparently the broadcast wasn't even live, it was pre recored.. which means someone had to give it the ok before it went out on air..

The video apology and resignation speech didnt seem to be in a hissy fit kinda way

He got sacked from radio 2..... well thats what i think and heard anyway. Either way he's gone, i dont like russell brand anyway

The official line has been that he's resigned. If he was sacked, i'm sure they would have said so
