People need to get a grip over this. It's getting ridiculous.
Im no fan of either one of them, but come on - when the show was aired there were [bold]two[/bold] complaints - after the Daily Mail reported it, [bold]a week later[/bold] , there are now over 10,000 - people are intentionally going on Youtube to look this up with the express intention of being outraged.
Okay they shouldnt have brought Andrew Sachs into it - it wasnt anything to do with him and I suspect it wasnt the first time he had been embarrassed by his granddaughter. But lets be fair - Brand and Ross were actually telling the truth, albeit in a pretty coarse way. The girl slept with Russell Brand - notorious for being one of the most indiscreet men in the business - what did she think would happen?
A quick look into this girls background shows the whole thing is much more likely to be a nice little publicity stunt for her, than the national emergency its being made out to be.
Get some perspective, people.

This is disgusting behaviour, no doubt about it. I don't think that we can blame the grandaughter for this as no matter what you say glamkitty I don't think that she would have expected Brand's indiscreet behaviour to extend to phoning her grandfather and actually singing about having sex with her. I don't get outraged, I enjoy risky humour and I like Ross and Brand but this was way beyond a joke. Brand should be sacked, especially as he has also made a joke out of his "apology". Ross should be given a written warning. Lets not forget they are BBC members of staff who should be under the same disciplinary procedures as anyone else.
So glamkitty, that is my perspective.

I already said I thought bringing her grandfather into it was wrong. But, remembering how Russell Brand announced to Rod Stewart during an awards ceremony, that he had slept with his daughter, I think its a bit short sighted of this girl not to imagine he might do similar - particularly knowing her grandfather was scheduled to appear on Brands show.
Im not saying I condone what they did - I dont, but really, have people not got actual problems of their own to worry about? Is this really the biggest news of the week?

In the unlikely event that the two men were sacked, Russell Brand doesn't have much to worry about - he's got some positively reviewed Hollywood roles under his belt, has hosted the MTV Awards and is still making shows for Channel 4 and its sister channel.
Jonathan Ross on the other hand might struggle without a platform on which to kiss the a*ses of the people of the moment. Mind you - ITV will probably use their usual tactic of snatching up someone whose talent has been honed on another network and then overuse him on every single show.

I notice the only person who is actually being dignified in the whole situation is the one person who has a right to feel aggrieved - Andrew Sachs. Wisely staying out of it.
The same can't be said for his attention-seeking granddaughter, obviously.

Andrew Sachs is acting with dignity here. If his granddaughter was intent on protecting his dignity, I suggest that the best place to achieve that probably isn't the front page on The Sun.

Agreed...the crass group complainer culture is well and alive when there is a controversy about...outraged at nothing more than a bad joke...plenty of the same kind of crass jokes happen all over so why people complain at this joke makes no sense. Didnt the BBC realise that was Mr Brands style of humour?
This is part of the reason why I watch very little TV...too much PC and too many complaints from seemingly everywhere about everything and noone has a sense of humour anymore.
Funny also how the BBC has numerous articles on its website about the situation with Mr Brand and probably a higher audience too

It is in my view that Both Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross must be sacked, and lets not forget too that Jonathan Ross's BBC1 tv show should also be taken off air ASAP.
I must also insist that Ofcom should without delay revolk BBC radio 2's licence. This would have happened if it had been a commercial radio station. They would have had their licence revolked. It is a must that Ofcom do take away BBC radio 2's licence ASAP. The BBC should face as much trouble as the two presenters, for allowing the broadcast to go ahead. So, come on Ofcom, do revolk BBC radio 2's licence ASAP.

Ross & Brand need to apologise personally to Mr Sachs but that wont happen as they are too far up themselves & overpaid.
They wont be sacked though,they old adage of no publicity is bad applies to this & will increase the audience to these two talentless w*****s shows..
Personally I turn them off when I hear their voices otherwise I would go through a TV/radio a week...

Maybe the reason there were only two complaints to the original broadcast is because Radio 2's natural, maturer in age audience, switch off when childish, overpaid cretins like Ross and Brand come to do their infantile prattle.
I know I do.

Perhaps there were only two original complaints because no-one actually listens to Brand's show, and not the 400,000 mentioned in the press.
Simply put there is not place for twits like either of them in public sector broadcasting being paid way over the top sums by the licence payers. Anyone else working for the state would be sacked on the spot for such inappropriate behaviour.
The BBC need to get a grip and stop trying to compete in monetary stakes with other channels. I am sure given the current poor position of commercial television they would struggle to match their current salaries, especially if there is no artificial competition form the BBC.
Sack them for being too dear, too rubbish and poorly mannered. Tinky winky, lala po or dipsy could easily fill in Jonathan's butt kissing show allowing other prima donna celebs a forum to sell their latest books & films before moaning about invasion of privacy a week later when it does not suit.

Clever man, Gordon Brown. Didn't anyone else think it was bizarre that he decided to chuck his unwanted opinion into the furore?
Of course, he saw an opportunity to direct public attention away from the financial crisis, get people thinking about something different than the value of their house or the price of their weekly shop.
Jonathan Ross: Funny guy, but a complete buffoon.
Russell Brand: Waste of space. Idiotic, not funny and overhyped. I'd be delighted never to see him again!
The grand-daughter: She'll be loving this. Media attention, cash from newspapers, offers to sign her burlesque group. ££££

Guess who I slept with last night ? That's right ...nobody cares.This type of story will soon become un-newsworthy.Mr Ross's biggest claim to fame is the ridiculess amount of money he is being paid for a very bland tv show. R.Brand is only famous for his previous well publicised addictions. It just like the sex pistols all over again. Talentless people making money from contrived publicity.

In my opinion both Brand and Ross should be sacked, suspension would be far too lenient, this pair are over paid and over rated.

This whole situation shows the power of the middle class, horrified of Tunbridge, Daily Mail readers.
How many actually heard the original broadcast? I didn't, am not "horrified", just a bit surprised two middle aged men find this kind of thing funny.
Must be a slow news week.

Even though they're both overpaid and overrated, I think that sacking them would be taking it too far.
Be better if people realised that Brand is a walloper and stopped watching him/listening to him. That'd destroy his overinflated ego! heheh.

Sad reflection on the state of our society, considering that lots of people out there (who choose to be arseholes) are influenced by this Brand tossbag and idolise him as sonme sort of God.

If that bampot Brand spoke about my grand daughter like he did about MR SACHS i would personally take great pleasure in smashing his big face in the guys a fecking tube and Mr Sachs has just issued a statement saying he is not surprised the two w@nkers have been suspended,on full pay i dare say

I guarantee that those who find this harmless prank offensive are in the older age bracket of ET readers.
The problem here is that Brand is a comedian popular with the younger generation, who quite rightly find no offence with this supposed scandal.
Older generation’s simply don't 'get' the joke and as such find themselves offended.
People really need to get a grip with this. A prank phone call??? Hmmm, I think I'll concern myself with genuine worries like the global financial status, war, famine, politics.....

I think Gordon Brown should be commenting on the state he's left our country in, not about a harmless prank.
It's not even that bad and has been completely blown out of proportion.

What bothers me about this whole fiasco, is the fact that WE pay for it through our licence fee!
Also, try posting offensive messages on the BBC website and see how far you get. Hypocrisy is rampant. I'm sorry, but if Brand and Ross are considered 'top entertainers' then the BBC really has sunk low.
That's my old (well middle aged) opinion.

[quote]Offensive and possibly illegal
It is possible that an offence was committed, under the Protection from Harassment Act, in the phone calls row a legal expert said today.
"Should someone make a complaint to the police, then there is potential for an offence to have been committed under section 1 of the Act," said lawyer and broadcaster Mark Stephens, of law firm Finers Stephens Innocent.
"That makes it an offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct which amounts to har-assment of another, and which they ought to know amounts to harassment," said Mark.
He continued: "You need a course of conduct - two or more incidents -and we had four calls."
He said any conviction of this nature could mean a jail sentence of up to six months and/or a fine.[/quote] Jail the pair of them, then maybe the government can reduce the licence fee, since we won't need to feed their over-inflated egos with loads of our dosh!

Anyway, wasn't Russell once called Jo? Apart from the weight-loss, the unkempt hair and dodgy lipstick is a definite giveaway! Add to that the fact that Russell is effeminate / Jo is butch. Further proof to support my claim - neither of them are remotely funny!

How sad. the BBC, once the sane voice in a country that has let any reasonable standard slip down the plughole is letting decency go to hell as well.. O.K I'm old now, but fail to see anything watchable in a unruly, unshaved and definitely untalented chancer like Russell Brand. Trying hard to be fair, I have watched his act but still find him detestable and coarse. If that's the standard the BBC sets now, God help us.
As for Wossy, please, where is the valueable asset worth £6million of taxpayers money a year? It's the top stars being interviewed that make his show...he can be funny, but so can a red-nosed clown! His unsubtle use of the 'F' word and sexual innuendo with many interviewees is also disgraceful, especially with female stars who can't say too much on the air; after all, they want the publicity and airtime.
Let's get both of these reprobates kicked out of show business altogether...they're not 'that' good and won't be missed.
For those who post here saying everyone is overreacting. Why shouldn't we. Whether we heard the broadcast or not, we 'now' know what took place and if the victim had been Muslim instead of the gentle Andrew Sachs would those two still be in employment? No way.

So many times I've seen Jonathan Ross dumfound his female guests on his show, with his cheeky sexual remarks and big ugly face (the stuff of nightmares) - and I always get the impression he enjoys doing it because he knows he will get away with it, rather than because he thinks it's funny.
But anyway, though I don't give a brown one about either Jonathan Ross or Russell brand - I hope this all dies down again because it's ridiculous.

I see that Russell Brand is due to come to the SECC in February 2009 on the following dates, 14th & 15th. It is therefore a real must that the SECC ban him from coming and cancel his appearance at the SECC ASAP.
Nobody will want russell Brand in Glasgow after his BBC radio 2 prank phone call. BAN HIM FROM THE SECC, it is a must.

If someone who's salary I was paying, phoned and left four offensive messages on my phone about about one of my relatives then I would not make a big fuss - I'd just sack the person. The point is was the recipient of the call offended? YES - very offended. So it really doesnt matter what others think. If this had happened in any other job or to a lesser light in the BBC there would be an instant sacking. Case closed.

The Orange Walk, for example, do more harm than Brand or Ross ever could, and far from being banned, they are positively encouraged to blight the city year after year.

What's realy offensive is that these two "entertainers" will emerge from this richer and more popular.They don't make the headlines by being entertaining they do it by being "controversial". As Yosser Hughes said "I can do that."
By the way I'm not middle aged I'm only 50

I guarantee that those who find this harmless prank offensive are in the older age bracket of ET readers.
The problem here is that Brand is a comedian popular with the younger generation, who quite rightly find no offence with this supposed scandal.
Older generation’s simply don't 'get' the joke and as such find themselves offended.
People really need to get a grip with this. A prank phone call??? Hmmm, I think I'll concern myself with genuine worries like the global financial status, war, famine, politics.....[/quote]
Harmless prank? One phone call? Don't think so on both accounts.
I assure you if either of these overpaid, overhyped middle aged men phoned me and left such 'messages' on my answerphone, I would ensure they never worked again on the BBC.
I do not pay a licence fee (their salary) to have such low level talent called 'wonderful'. These are the kind of people who are dumbing down the standard of our television programmes and our young people don't know what good entertainment is nowadays.
Like AyrshireBud, they should be sacked and the case closed.

What was done was technically wrong yes, you're not allowed to broadcast a "wind up" without the victim's permission. Also they went too far, as Billy Connolly once said "you can make jokes about anything, as long as it's funny". This wasn't funny, and they've fallen into the same trap as Billy did a while back.
The show was pre-recorded and a lot of this could all have been avoided if someone at the BBC had been doing their job properly.
Even though I am adding to this, it has been overblown in the extreme.

And no doubt he wouldn't phone someone up and tell them he'd pumped their granddaughter, and even if he did there's meant to be an editor who stops 'offensive' material going out.
George Bowie and the Unfunny Man (Des) for example, have loads of wind ups they have played on people like Walter Smith who said no to broadcasting them. So the recordings are left unaired.

If RB offends you, just dont buy a ticket to his show - but accept that other people might (I dont, but Im not expecting other people to stop liking him!)
Something like orange walk is welcomed into the city despite the hatred it incites - but a third rate comedian offends someone you dont even know and theres mass hysteria.
Get a grip.

Disgraceful behaviour, To try so easily to bring down a young girls character and good name, in such a public way, for nothing more than laughs. is disgraceful. i feel sorry for the girl and her family. i am seething that my hard earned licence fee is paying for these rich idiots to get richer at the expense of others. no amount of apologies could compensate this poor girl and her grandfather (respected Actor) for the absolute disregard of their good name and privacy. The BBC let it run for "ratings" rather than think of moral decency. The BBC, Brand and Ross must pay a sever price for their sick thoughts. This is NOT humour, No One is laughing.

Have to say that I find it quite depressing to read posts on here from people who think that making obscene phone calls to an elderly man is just a "harmless prank" and that those don't view it in that way just "don't get the joke".

Double standards from the BBC. They are obsessed with left-wing political correctness, (see nightly reporting of fans singing being offensive at football matches) yet allow their over-paid stars away with this? The worst thing is we license fee payers are footing the bill. Surely it is time to scrap the license fee, or at least make it voluntary, altogether??

Just got in from my cruise down the main street. Took so long cos there wre so many young phannies crawlin along in their heaps of $h1te. Had to look at your reply sideways. Does that mean you got my "double etendre"? Thats French by the way. Anyway what do you mean by "goodnight" it's only 5 o'clock in the U.S.A. Does that mean you're not really in America you fibber. By the way I lied too. I'm only 49.

Aye, I'm in America. I was saying goodnight to YOU! A man your age should be in their beds at ten at night. Noo.. goodnight! 8-)

Two things spring to my mind on this. The shambles that is Russell Brand obviously has yet to realise that informing the nation of his sexual antics just ain't funny anymore. Its old hat. Secondly, Jonathan Ross should know better. I can only imagine that if Mr. Brand were to turn round and say "I had sex with your daughter", I don't think Mr. Ross would be slow in planting one on his chin. The both of them should go onto pastures new and leave us all alone - I'm bored now.

I watched a CNN documentary about Billy Connolly the other day, and he said that its important to offend these people who are so easily offended. I agree with him in general, like all the people in Glasgow who are offended by someone singing them a particular song...its all nonsense. What kind of person can be offended by a naughty song for heavens sake?...Often the complainants are guilty of much worse misdemeanours themselves.
However when you phone up an elderly grandfather to make rude comments about having sex with his grand-daughter then he has every right to be appalled, and the perpetrators should face the consequences.

Are all of you rabid ranters forgetting that the girl actually DID have sex with RB? They werent just making it up.
As for the above post saying the girls reputation is being sullied - she is a STRIPPER. She sullies her own reputation.
Jeez. I hate to think what you lot are like when something that actually affects you happens.

Apparantly her dance??? group is called the Satanic ****. Are they trying to get satan a bad name!!! Surely any woman who finds Mr Brand attractive can't be the full shilling, even worse to come out and admit it publicly.
