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.

YOU SAD PEOPLE, JONATHON ROSS AND RUSSELL BRAND ARE PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY PROGRAMS/PRESENTERS WORTH WATCHING ON THE BBC. THEY WILL NOT BE SACKED, WILL BECOME MORE FAMOUS, AND APART FROM MOAN, THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET OVER IT, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
Never been a big fan of Ross, But I'd take no pleasure in seeing him sacked. However, I'd be over the moon to see Brand walk - the plank. We've all been young, but there can never be an excuse for people like him! He made me sick the first time I saw him in America, advising americans that it would be racist of them not to vote for Mr Obama. Andrew Sachs, as I'm sure nobody needs reminding, played a key role in a comedy series which set a standard of sophistication the likes of Brand can only dream of aspiring to. Incidentaly, Mr Brand, I'm not a pensioner, I'm no older than Johnathan Ross.
Errrrrrrrrm JR worth watching? You call constant dirty, smutty cheap cockney inuendos worth watching. Overpaid and over-rated...
Always thought that Ross was a 'grown up' man acting like a little kid. Thought he was funny because he could swear. No talent whatsoever. Who exactly did the BBC think would find this schoolground humour funny? Certainly not the adults who pay the exorbitant TV license.
I for one would like to see jonathan Ross and russell brand in the gutter where they belong instead of taking millions of pounds of our money to the bank and laughing all the way at the viewers who give them the life style they do not deserve.
Grab a Victoria Beckham-inspired number for a fraction of the price
Do you agree that these stars must have got dressed in the dark?
