Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross prank calls

Two million Radio 2 listeners heard Ross and Brand leave answerphone messages for actor Andrew Sachs (Manuel in Fawlty Towers), now 78, in which they joked that Brand had slept with the actor's granddaughter Georgina Baillie. After thousands of complaints, the BBC suspended them both.

What a pair of tossors

Guest: bbc's fault (390 days ago)

that was funny, and not really that offencive! the bbc have punished them for there own mistakes on letting the recording out!

what people seem to forget is that Andrew should've answered the phone, if he's been in as prearranged, none of this would have happened! Knowing these two, he was asking for trouble really!

I listened to the show on iPlayer from Sweden, and was surprised that nothing had been said about it.. the next day it all blew up. Their "Prank" as the BBC labelled it was highly offensive and utterly uncalled for. Sadly.. if it had been to someone else it woiuld have gone un-noticed.

Interesting comment Blankenstein. However, these two are what are commonly known as an overpaid couple of stupid c*nts that fully deserve to be thrown back to the gutter where they have obviously crawled from. I do not pay a license fee to fund pricks like these two tossers. Does that answer your question?

Guest (391 days ago)

funny how the beeb shot themselves in the foot: There were originally about a dozen compaints about language but after it was all over bbc news all day there were about 20 thousand complaints. Then they had to sack them both to save face! Shame! Queue Russel Brand falling back into some kind of addiction and then oblivion only to come back as a Have i got news for you presenter and write another s hit book about how traumatic the whole thing was for him.....

i listened to the show, it was hilarious

Also, just to put it into context, he did sleep with her (she has said so). Otherwise it could have been seen as an off colour joke that wasn't funny. Instead, it's not a joke, it's a betrayal of confidence. I'm disgusted.

irishfellaIrishFella (391 days ago)

In fairness ANT, he bragged in public, WITHOUT her permission, about something that is private. I can't think of anything that shows less class than that. Also, I would like to add, despite what you may have heard in the gutter press, I did not sleep with either her or her Grandfather.

Guest: Blankenstein (391 days ago)

How will you fit Stupid Americans into this one?

Guest (390 days ago)

Seeing as how the girl in question is a dancer with Satanic Sluts - I'm surprised she feels so morally offended

Guest: Barry (391 days ago)

We don't want that Brand tosser in Essex, and I hope neither of them ever get a job in entertainment again. Pair of unfunny ars#holes

Guest (391 days ago)

this is where our license fees go! Ross should be made to pay us all back £2 quid each. Brand can just f uck off back to essex and do smack and shag sluts.

Guest: Jim (390 days ago)

i really don't see what was SO horrible about this, yeah, it was a bit harsh but they did say sorry about a million times russel brand is a twat though, wasn't in the grand daughter who started the rally against them anyway, not the guy they actually rang?
