Jay_whitt Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 both comedians have been threatened to be fired and kicked out of the bbc for this call because of all the complaints recievedi couldnt stop laughing and think its legendary part 1part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse_GTI Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I personally thought it was funny, although not the kind of stuff to be said on daytime radio. Don't think they should be sacked. Jonathan Ross is a legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I also thought it was fantastic.The guy should cut back on the Scotch and discover where his sense of humor has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They were saying on the radio this morning that his family are thinking of suing Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand.Our local radio station is now minus 2 presenters because of something similar:http://www.echo-news.co.uk/search/3798139....t_DJs_off_air_/http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/local_news...amp;cid=7285674 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 According to Radio1 it was 18000 complaints, which is quite a bit like! I can't believe that many people would be offended or could even be arsed to ring up and complain. One woman said what they did was "unforgiveable" which is a joke, i mean c'mon thats a bit strong isn't it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse_GTI Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Bloody hell, just imagine how many complaints would be logged if they put a Roy Chubby Brown show on daytime tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picola Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Aye but it was only until the Sunday times or some sunday paper printed the article the problems and major complaints flooded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ51NXX Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I thought it was funny as! People can't seem to take things lightly these days Edited October 29, 2008 by LJ51NXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 lets be honest here, your average radio 2 listener is my dad..... old, and not really "down wid da kids," and probably doesn't appreciate russell brands humour anyway. i really don't know why russell brand is on radio 2 anyway, it's hardly a hip and happening station, i just wouldn't have thought their target audience would appreciate his humour.i thought it was hilarious, but i have a sick sense of humour!

bossjohnc Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think this might be a case of the 'I think Russell Brand is an arrogant twit, so I'll complain for the sake of it' band wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbeth! Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I hadnt heard anything about this, and a mate told me about it and I just thought ok, its funny but not something id go on about.I don't particulary like Russel Brand, I think hes over the top a lot of the time, but that didnt seem harsh enough to get 18000 complaints.

Adam K Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 the fact is, he has slept with georgina baillie, it's not like he was lying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I dunno.Fair enough joking about it on the radio, but to phone his house and leave messages on his answering machine is taking it a bit too far. Would you want it happening to you about your daughters or granddaughters?And Russell Brand is a cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I don't agree with what they said, when you listen to the whole lot it's pretty harsh.If you went to your ex-s dad and told them how she was in bed, you would expect a punch in the face. Then said how you'd burgle their house and abuse him... yeah perfect radio content I've lost the little respect I had for Russell Brand anyway.. and Jonathan Ross.

Silver! Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 lets be honest here, your average radio 2 listener is my dad..... old, and not really "down wid da kids," and probably doesn't appreciate russell brands humour anyway. i really don't know why russell brand is on radio 2 anyway, it's hardly a hip and happening station, i just wouldn't have thought their target audience would appreciate his humour.i thought it was hilarious, but i have a sick sense of humour! I listen to Radio2 the fact is, he has slept with georgina baillie, it's not like he was lying.Why would anyone really care about Messers Ross and Brand or Sachs and his grandaughter anyhow.I think Brand is so far up his own behind. He was quite funny at first, but now I find him mostly grating.Ross should really know better, even though I enjoy his TV and Radio shows.It's not like they would be skint if they lost their jobs is it. If anything it'll do Brand good and boost his ratings away from the grumpy moany group.Andrew Sachs is a bit of a hypocrite in my eyes. Back in the Faulty Towers and his bid for music fame, he was probably offensive to the entire Spanish nation. Did anyone complain about him? Nope!And as for his grandaughter: had anyone heard of her before this? She dances in a Burlesque troop with a name that can't be repeated on mainstream TV/radio as it's too rude (I don't even know the name, but I heard this said on the news the other night). The pictures of her, which I assume have been supplied by her agent, shown by TV and press to prove her innocence show her wearing a pink bra. How odd they couldn't find one of her fully clothed!I think the compaints started by Mr Sachs are probably a rue to get her, the offended party noticed and to boost her celebrity status.I mean to say, look at Abby "I made a home porn movie, let the tape escape and now I'm famous" Titmus.Forget them. they wouldn't give you the time of day!
