I think Rossy likes the sound of his own voice more than the people he's interviewing. What really hacks me off is that he can be funny, but seems to @forget@ to be sometimes.


Russel brand should be put down by lethal injection.

I think it was in very poor taste, using racial stereotypes, inferring that the minority is stupid, advocating physical abuse towards the minority and then dragging it back up at every opportunity.

Sachs has a lot to answer for

Apologies are also owed to the loyal listeners of the show who enjoyed its shambolic spirit and anarchy and will be upset that it cannot continue.

I take complete responsibility and offer nothing but love and contrition and I hope that now Jonathan and the BBC will endure less forensic wrath.

Yep, Brand is a ****.

Brand was the best thing on the BBC, I've been listening to his show since it started and it rocks.

I listened to the show about Sachs again this morning and couldn't stop laughing.

If this hadn't been brought to light by the moaning public then they would have never got 20000 complaints. It's the fact that the type of people that don't listen to his show have now heard it that they are jumping on the band wagon.

Brand will just go onto better things now, watch this space. All the publicity is a great way of boosting his show biz status.

As for Wossy he'll just have a wee holiday and then go back to making £6,000,000

The real point is that those two double died pratts decided to make oafs of themselves and leave those obscene and offensive messages on Andrew Sach's phone and also did it in public on the radio. Sachs just does not deserve that kind of treatment especially since he is not responsible for his granddaughter's behaviour anyway. What they did was puerile and well beyond the grounds of public decency. Those who can't see that should put themselves in Sach's place and consider how they would like to find messages on their answerphone which were not only disgraceful but were also done in full public hearing on the radio!

I also consider Ross to be a waste of space as an entertainer, he is incapable of doing a show now without offensive or obscene remarks which all goes to show how poor his abilities are and how rubbishy his material is. he has a mouth like a sewer which is always the last resort of a poor entertainer and Brand is also going in the same direction. Pity really since he does possess some wit at least.

I hope they remain suspended and at least save us some of our licence money which is completely wasted on these two losers.

I'm so offended...NOT!!!

I think its just a storm in a teacup.......yep sack them all....that sounds like the usual namby pamby load of interfering bollix we are used to.............

Taste and decency ? when did that apply to the British public in the last 30 years ?

The complainers should go to your average pub/club at kicking out time and then may be they'd get a real perspective on the decision..........

as I understand it he did bang her..........so he's not telling lies then..

where are the weapons of mass destruction ? who made sure the bankers didn't screw up the economy ?

I think we're losing sight of an important issue, here; what an incredible cocksmith Brand is. His bedpost must look like the fecking termites have been at it.

Jeez, they pulled a prank, and it went wrong, is it really that big of a deal? Bad taste, maybe, but neither one is known for much else. They both push the boundries, it's nothing new.

It seems to me, reading this thread, and observing the complaints rolling in (considering there were so few initially), that it seems to be anyone who doesn't like the pair, or either one, are jumping on the bandwagon. If this hadn't been highlighted in the media, there wouldn't be this fuss, and most likely, if this had been done (even in a moment of madness), by some others, possibly more widely liked, there wouldn't be either.

I'd like to say it amazes me, that a bit of a bad taste 'joke' is worthy of the main headline in news, but in this day, it really doesn't.

That comment beggars belief

Back to the topic, Brand is a waste of breathing space. He is about as funny as a dose of the clap. Jonathon Ross should know better, at his age.

Saying that, bit of a storm in a teacup as far as I am concerned.

funny u should say that because on the telly this morning they reckon most peoples complaints are that they get huge salaries and behave like this, so if they where getting crap salaries it would be ok to behave like this?

The reason few people complained just after broadcasting was simply because the sort of person that enjoys listening to Brand probably thought it was funny. Obviously, Brand&Ross thought it was funny and whoever decided to air it thought it was funny.

It wasnt big and it wasnt clever.

The fact they've both apologised shows they fcuked up and made a huge error of judgement.

Still reckon Brand,Ross,Sachs and grandaughter decided they had a cunning plan .

All of them win! Newspapers,radio shows, people on internet boards all talking about them! Hasn't Max Clifford popped up too?

Clever I say

(presume Brand will soon be starting a new £300,00pa job after leaving his £200k one) Sachs will get a new panto,people will remember the name of the grandaughter for ever (actually,I've forgotten it) and JR,business as usual.)

NOTE all the above made up by my warped mind

Finally listened to said radio show / the answer phone messages. ******* hilarious if you ask me OK maybe a bit close to the wire but that's what they do, doesn't really justify 20,000 complaints.

And Brand supports the greatest football team in the world so he's alright in my books

Seeing as he's now looking for work now and David Tennant has quit, I wonder if Brand will be the next Dr Who?

I hate to say it Nat, but something tells me she was being disingenuous in saying she was complaining on the basis of damage to her relationship with her granddad. I smell an ulterior motive here. I do hope she won't be taking any modelling offers as a result of the coverage she's getting due to this farce.

That's what annoys me about Brand the most, he's a scruffy, not especially attractive, scrawny, average comedian and yet the guy gets more ***** than he knows what to do with.

The guy should really be referred to as the Lord High Cocksmith...

Oh yeah, I just went Gilbert and Sullivan on your asses!!!
