Should these two face prosecution and even banned from the BBC?

If these calls had been to an ethnic it would have been classed racist, and their feet would have not touched the floor.

I know before any wit makes the remark that Manuel is an ethnic (Spanish), it was only the part he played.

Whilst I like usually like Jonathan Ross and find Russell Brand amusing sometimes, I have just listened to this on YouTube and can find nothing amusing in it whatsoever. I am surprised they were allowed to continue with it. It just got worse and worse. I am far from narrow minded, humourless or sanctimonious but it was just plain embarrassing and insulting.

[LoftyLottie]

I don't like Last of the Summer Wine either Flipflop!

[youngmafbog]

Both are twits with an 'a'.

Fire their overpaid arses and teh directors too. Then drag them through the courts. An offence is an offence.

Come to think of it fire Browns Broadcasting Corportation and save us all the ludicrous tax we pay anually. Just think us taxpayers funded this .

Well flip, if that is your sense of humour.

[brionon]

flip flop-Finding something funny doesn't make it right does it ?

[daniela31]

Flip flops humour is obviously in the same league as these two idiots on tv who think this is funny also.
I think it was a very wicked thing to do to an old man, and Andrew Sachs should take action and have these two up in court.
Russel Brand is a self confessed sex-addict, and it's about time he was punished for pushing his disgusting ideas of humour about it, on decent law abiding people such as Mr Sachs.

Humour is subjective.

[Doc.Spock.1]

Well flip-flop, as the proud mother said when her son marched past in an army unit.


"Everybody is out of step but our Billy"

[legendis.god]

yawn who cares?

no big deal and im sure manuel is over it.



if theyre sereriously gonna spend thousands of pounds prosecuting them , probably tens of thousands , then the true lunacy is in the judicial system



whilst knife wielding thugs wander freely because theer a lack of police thousands are wasted on similar nonsense cases


wheer will it end ?


forget it, this is to help publicise his book.and you are feeding the publicity frenzy.


congratulate yourselves for being part of the problem instead of the solution.


theres hobnestly more to worry about than that tosh


anyways thats my view i expect this to rattle on for hours yet.
enjoy yourselves.

[Doc.Spock.1]

Typical well thought out response.

Lets all phone old people up and say we've ***************** their granddaughters.

JR & RB are both talentless, immature w@nkers, who love the sound of their own voices on TV & the radio.

I say sack the pair of them - but bet it'll never happen!

(P.S. I used to really enjoy Radio 2 on a Saturday morning, but now switch off as soon as I hear JR's ramblings).

[lesblue]

Who has ever found Russell Brand funny? Abusive, yes. Insulting, yes. Brash, arrogant, obnoxious, yes, yes, yes. But I, for one, don't know how this jerk has reached "cult status" with such little obvious talent. I have never been a fan of Ross, either, though can see that he has a certain (limited) appeal.

IMHO, both should be banned, otherwise the BBC will be seen to be condoning this type of childish behaviour. What did this pair of clowns expect to achieve by broadcasting this smut to their listeners?

Is this how far standards have dropped, that we now have to rely on this type of "jolly jape" for our laughs?

The mind boggles.

[daniela31]

Andrew Sachs and his family were very upset about the phone call and the messages.
Why should it be alright for these two to get away with it just because they are celebs??
Sack them both, and take them to court.

[smudge]

BTW - I am very broad minded, but cannot stand rude, insensitive morons.

[Gromit]

Might be worth reminding everyone that Ross is paid
�6 Million for his efforts.

This idiot wants them dead.

And I'm the sick one.................................................

[smudge]

Doc Spock's comments are a bit OTT flipflop. I wouldn't wish either of them dead, but wish they would disappear from TV & radio!

Just posted this link in CB.

Maybe given how his grand-daughter portays herself might change some of your minds?

A picture of virginial innocence she aint!

[smudge]

It's not so much of what they might have 'privately' thought about Sach's granddaughter. It's that they had the audacity to intrude into this man's life, leaving unnecessary, rude & insensitive ramblings on his answerphone - 3 times!
