Stars are criticised by Mediawatch-UK
Tuesday, 28 October 2008
Listeners have called for Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to be disciplined over an answerphone message they left veteran actor Andrew Sachs.
BBC host Jonathan, 47, was appearing on Russell’s Radio 2 show when they rang up the Fawlty Towers star for an interview.
But when he failed to answer, they left him a voicemail.
‘He’s f**ked your granddaughter,’ Jonathan yelled into the machine. ‘[He] enjoyed her like a swing.’
Russell, 33, could also be heard shouting, ‘I wore a condom’.
The BBC has reportedly received over 1,600 complaints since the show was broadcast, and has issued an apology.
And Mediawatch-UK has called for both stars to be punished.
‘Ross and Brand are paid very expensive salaries,’ a spokesman tells The Sun.
‘We need to see if they should be removed from their posts.’
Andrew, 78, has requested an apology for his granddaughter Georgina Baillie, 23, who is in burlesque dance troupe Satanic Sluts.

I have never liked Jonathan Ross. I think he is disgusting and I also think it disgusting that he has an OBE
ross must go
What Ross and Brand did is illegal anyone else would have been sacked. If Ofcom do fine the BBC hope both of them will stump up the cash.
Jonathan Ross is a total disgrace to himself and his country. I think his shows are vulgar and distasteful. Sack him immediately and save us £6million p.a.
They should both be sacked. NO apology is sufficient to remedy. They behav e like 2 spoilt children
