I am not so fond of Brand, but Jonathan Ross is really good both on Television and Radio.

Come on, from my understanding it was something picked up in the background. They were having a laugh, OK I can see why Manuel (give him a slap on the back of the head) would be offended but the rest of the public?

I must admit I hate Brand, but did laugh when he apologised then said but it was funny though

Tell me why does the BBC employ Mr Woss?

I don't know anyone who finds him entertaining in the slightest.


I would understand if constantly trying to be a quick witted funny smartarse was actually funny, but its not because he has to try, and fails in the process.

Brand? Just another stand up comedian that will fizzle out in a few years. Which is what should have happned to Woss decades ago.


Edit: I should add I can't see the fuss or the problem about this so called controversial answer phone message. Whilst I didn't find it funny it nor offensive to anyone but the person who had to listen to the message on their voicemail. But if it makes a good excuse to get rid of the waste of licence money that is Woss, then so be it LOL.

Is he worth 6 mill a year????? I dont think so, used to love his show but its soooo tired and jaded now. Brand thinks he's about 100 times funnier than he actually is.

Sack Ross I say!

No doubt the beeb would find somewhere else to waste 6mill a year on though!

Brand should be chopped into little pieces and fed to the dogs. Ross is great and is worth every penny and should keep his job.

Interestingly, there were only 2 complaints about their behaviour last week, from people actually listening at the time.

Now the press have got hold of it (since old misery guts Sachs complained), even the PM (who in the middle of a financial crisis obviously has nothing better to do) has jumped on this ridiculous bandwagon.

She's getting exactly what she wanted now after boning Brand. She'll play the wounded animal and lap up the publicity she craves. I hate the celebraty culture in this country. Anybody who buys heat, Ok, the sun, star etc should be sterilised.

Russell Brand is the funniest man in Britain. His radio show is excellent.

For those above in the 'hate Brand, like Ross' camp, it was JR that shouted '"oh and Russell Fu**ed your granddaughter"
that's what started the nonsense. I did think it was quite close to the bone when I heard it, but I also laughed out loud.

Daily Mail can foad.

Brand is possibly the most pointless person ever. Fact.

Ross is pretty good though.

I used to like Wossy, but I've gone right off him in the last couple of years.

Brand, however, I absolutely hate. I wouldn't even p*ss in his mouth if his teeth were on fire

Don't like Brand Ross is cool, what they did though is out of order, I'm all for a laugh and regularly take the pee out of my friends, getting a cheep laugh at someone else's expense is ok if its with the consent of that person, but causing stress or humiliation to someone is not funny, its like bullying and out of order, simple as. From my understanding of things it caused stress and concern and they weren't given permission to broadcast it ether, if it was me I'd be taking them to the cleaners. What would happen if you or I made such a malicious phone call? don't think we would get away with saying it was just for a laugh.

I hate Brand. Scruffy b*stard who is actually a Toff. Re-invented himself to become who is pretends to be now.

Plus he sh*gged that Welsh tart from Big Brother. I want to sh*g her.

Ross is OK but I do sometimes get sick of him.

Sack Brand, keep Ross.

Has anyone actually heard it fully?

Or is everyone listening to a half arsed sensationalised media version of what happened and basing their conclusions on that?

Baaaaaa Baaaaaaaa

just been looking at her Bebo page - she is quite fit - very amusing reading all the recent comments left on her page.......

Apparently she was on a European tour with the burlesque dance group - the Satanic ***** - when all this broke out.....

TBH although what both Brand and Ross pushed the lmits and beyond, the fact it was pre recorded and then broadcast means surely someone up high has to go?

They'll sweep it under the carpet and probably bring them back just as the US election results come out.
