Yes
What do you think, after the way they behaved towards Andrew Sachs do you think their subsequent "apology" was enough, or should they be sacked or punished in some other way by the BBC?
 
I did not hear it only read what they said but I think they have been let off very lightly.

Being sacked would also get the bbc out of thier huge salaries.
 
I doubt they will be sacked - although I hope they are, I can't stand the pair of them.
Unforgivable behaviour.
 
Yep, completely unacceptable IMO. Bad enough behaviour to someone in their mid 30's never mind a 78 year old..

They should be sacked
 
i didnt hear what they said.. anyone got a link to the call??
 
Hehe.. that was funny.. i can just hear it now..

Oh.. hang on.. No that wasn't funny at all.. :lol:

Me too I find Russel Brand nauseating, I do not understand how they find him entertaining although millions must do or he would not be one of the highest paid.
As for Jonathan Ross, he is one of those entertainers that have managed to extract laughter from any rubbish that comes out of his mouth.

I appreciate others love them and it is all down to the individuals personal taste and sense of humour, but, I can not stand either of them and they are not for my sense of humour and values.

YES THEY SHOULD BE SACKED
 
I cannot stand Russell Brand (Ooh a bit of poetry there, and much funnier than Brand!) :razz: I first saw him on the Secret Policeman's ball a couple of years ago where he made jokes about the Soham murders to the sound of crickets chirping and he's got worse ever since. As for Ross, well he's been around for a while now and people have got used to him, but I'd sack 'em both because, aside from this "incident", I don't think either of them have got any real talent. :thumbsdown:
 
Wonder how Brand or Ross would respond if they were 78, with the same age granddaughter and have the same message left on their answering m/c :gag:
 
A nice wee donation to a charity of Mr Sachs' choice - say half a million quid each, they can afford it and it would make them think before doing anything like that again.

Then sack them ;)
 
its not the first time brand had been in the dog house i say sack them both
 
Their behaviour wasn't very professional - a bit yob/lager loutish - if I did that to someone at work I'd be sacked.:nono:
 
I don't think Wossy should be sacked, it was more of an error of judgement on a long standing 'clean' career.

Brand however should be shot on sight. He is an unfunny talentless scruffy tool who doesn't deserve any airtime whatsoever.
 
I love wossy, and unfortunately it was him who first said about the daughter shagging things.

Brand should, as has been said, be shot on sight
 
brand and ross are overpaid talentless individuals who use their positions to get away with murder, i have no time for either of them if i was sachs id sue and if i was the bbc id sack them
 
Well the scruffy one did not seem very sorry on the news (yes I have finally turned the tv on), just made a joke of the appology :(
If it was any other job he would be out straight away, with the BBC he will probably get a bonus :(
 
If I had made a comment like that to or about a patient I would have been struck off the professional register! They are both over paid and on a great ego trip and should be taken of the air! Save the license payers a fortune! How would they like to have been accused of sexual assault of one of their children's friends?
 
Let's not forget this isn't the first time Brand has gotten himself in hot water over phone calls.

A previous stand up routine included a call to 999 for laughs.

He's a vile, silly little boy who should be sent to his room and not let out until he grows up a little.
 
Sack the pair of them.... then the beeb could lower the TV license ;)

Both are up their own arrrrrrsessssssss or is that each others ;) :)
 
Ross should be sacked. Brand should be put down - in a most painful manner imaginable.
 
Oh my gods

I thought it was just me that hurled up me giblets everytime I saw or heard Russell Brand.

He's in you're TV......stealing you're licence fee money :shake:
 
Agree with most here, I never could understand why the BBC employed Brand. I don't think either of them have any social conscience at all, they do and say things that are offensive and Ross in particular gets away with it time after time because he's an audience puller.
 
IMO, the only Brand that is funny is Jo Brand - or is it John Humprhries?
 
The BBC should apologize for employing Russell Brand in the first place. I for one will not listen to anything he is on. I have radio two on whenever I'm on the PC but always play a tape if Brand is on, he is just not funny at all.

Tapes!! your gonna tell me that before computers, photographs were taken with chemicals on a plasticcy "film" type substance and then using coloured liquids transfered onto compressed vegetable matter. That would be tooo complicated surely......
 
Ahhh I have some BASF's upstairs :D
And I think i still have a few empty TDKD90s lol
 
Does anyone else think this has got way too out of hand? It will get to the point nobody will say anything funny any more, for fear of offending someone else...

Go look for Frankie Boyle clips on YouTube - that's how humour should be:)
 
There's a difference between being funny, and just being rude for cheap laughs though.

I agree, it is already out of hand - the fact that the BBC thought that it was a) okay for two of it's "stars" to make such a call b) thought it was suitable for broadcast and most shockingly c) that a "song" was the best way to apologise, only goes to show just how low they have sunk
