Conrad Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 There's been a bit of an uproar over this, over 10000 complaints to the BBC already. The grandaughter in question wants Ross and Brand sacked. Here's the audio of what happened: You tube So what do you think? Over reaction or not? Personally I think Brand and Ross are the two funniest people on TV and I did laugh at what they did. That said it couldn't have been too nice for Sachs...

ivan Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sack them both IMO. The pair of them are grossly overpaid - with OUR license money. Would serve them right if they were prosecuted for "leaving lewd and obscene messages". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think its just stupid. I think until it hit the news there had been less then 69 complaints. It happened weeks back. it hits the news and internet forums and places which exist to hate people like that get everyone to complain, next thing you know 10,000 complaints bit like the Rik Astley thing! though he will be a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would serve them right if they were prosecuted for "leaving lewd and obscene messages". Fully agree... Brand I've never liked, I find him purile, arrogant and generally just an idiot. Ross, well very disappointed, would have expected better. To leave those sort of messages is not even funny..... wonder what Ross's thoughts would have been if that was to his wife.

AndrewOW Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I thought I'd heard that this show had been pre-recorded, so even though Ross/Brand were a bit naughty, wouldn't it be the fault of Radio 2 to have broadcast it in the first place?

Ian W Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Storm in a tea cup, no real news out there? i.e. Looming recession is way less important I would hardly say the 'looming recession' isn't getting enough coverage though lol I'd be absolutely raging if that was done to me, sack them both I say.

Branners Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 there are many other pictures of her around too. Hardly an angel. I would have thought it was more embarrasing for Sachs for all the sordid details and dodgy pictures of that bird to be printed in the paper when it could have just been left to die. Nobody had a clue who she was until this happened, now we all know who she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened weeks back. it hits the news and internet forums and places which exist to hate people like that get everyone to complain, next thing you know 10,000 complaints bit like the Rik Astley thing! though he will be a winner 69 complaints is still a pretty big deal, normally less than 10 complaints is enough to kick off stuff with OFCOM. 10,000 - well I'm not entirely surprised there has been a motion in the house of commons to get them both sacked. Personally I find it pathetic that their actions were defended as "comedy", and that comedians always pushed the boundaries, and blah blah. Rubbish, they were being obnoxious and unpleasant, and that has no place on the BBC. Just look at the comedy greats: Ken Dodd, Morecambe and Wise, etc. They were funny without needing to push boundaries or be obscene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Personally I think Brand and Ross are the two funniest people on TV you`re easily amused, another two Talentless Tossers have been found out. Hopefully they will be banished to the Talentless Tossers scrapheap with all the others never to be seen again. If they hit hard times they could go and live with the Captain of Talentless Tossers, Barrymore. That miserable looking chav waster dRoss is getting paid £6 million per year from the likes of us as licence payers and hasn`t a tenth of the talent of Sachs. The sooner the Beeb boots him and that other tramp Brand out the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bens747 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Imagine finding a message on ur answer fone from some twat that looks like a caveman and some overpaid idiot talking about having sexual intercourse with ur grand daughter. Now imagine that everyone in the country knows about it and see how you feel. These two are disgraceful with the amount of money they take from the licence payer that they can make cheap laughs to someone that can't defend themselves. Sack them both and save the licence payer 20 million over 4 years. Can't stand either of them, they are both a disgrace to society ....
