Blinkin' Russel Brand!!!

[di]

Well,just sat down to watch Huhg's(FW)appearance on The Buzzcocks,but......due to the shenanigans of Mr Brand earlier & as he was on the same one,the Beeb have seen it appropriate to replace it with a different one!

[kirsty b]

I chuffin hate Russell Brand. He's just not as great as he thinks he is.

[di]

I was just excited(really don't get out enough!!)about HFW being on!!Doubt we'll ever get to watch it now due to a couple of "comedians" who couldn't be bothered to be funny so thought they'd go down the shock road instead!hey-ho!!

[maytreefrannie]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of 'comedians' who think anything goes as long as it's 'just for a laugh' - we all enjoy comedy but some things are just not funny. Comedians/presenters/broadcasters should be creative enough to make us laugh without disrespecting others.

Sorry you missed HFW, Andi&Di, I didn't know he was going to be on - let's just hope he gets a chance to go on the programme again.

I missed the whole furore, but apparently there were TWO complaints about the programme at the time.

Since the Daily Whine (sorry, Daily Mail) got on the case, there have been 30,000 complaints - from people who don't like Wossy and Brand and want them brought down a peg or three.

[jackie j]

I am not a fan of either of them.

Totally agree. Its ridiculous the way this has blown up on the back of the media hype. Too many sticky beaks who can't wait to try and exact some revenge on people who have done very well for themselves. Its a backlash on the salaries by green eye'd monsters not because they think Sachs was wronged.

As far as I can see Sachs hasn't particluarly taken offence (his Agency have but them they've got some nice exposure from this haven't they...) and as for Brand and Ballie well apparently they have met before so who knows...she's also managed to do well out of it as well witha tabloid exclusive

Its just a total joke and now the BBC is going to be so touchy about the programe edits not to mention live shows. Oh well. Bring on more Morcambe & Wise / 2 Ronnies re-runs.

I reckon the main 'winner' is AS's granddaughter - no such thing as bad publicity and all that

Dismissing ALL those who couldn't complain until they heard about it as 'jealous about the money', or 'just don't like' misses several important points.
People 'dont' like' what these 2 �$%^&* (especially Brand) imagine to be humour, and therefore WOULDN'T be watching, but may be shocked by just HOW far into tasteless this was once they heard of it, and as for the salaries, DO remember that these are paid from our licence fees, which I think gives us some rights in the matter (and no, I didn't complain, I just agree with those who express disapproval on assorted forums).Then there is the really important bit. We all know that such totally tasteless peurile 'humour' happens, but for it to be braodcast by the BBC gives it a legitimacy that it SHOULD NOT HAVE.
It's unfortunate that so few REAL comedians remain.

She is the main winner, but that's the celeb game baby. Its all a big game, Ross and Brand know that more than anyone, but they have now got such big heads, they think they can get away with anything.

As far as I understand Sachs was asked if he objected to the program going out and he said he did. But they still broadcast it.

My opinion is that it is not humour, it is trying to humiliate an old man in the worst way possible, through his granddaughter.

I like Ross, but I can't stand Brand. I don't think Ross did anything that bad actually, it would have been good if they had just left a funny message on the answerphone, which I think Ross had in mind. But as I wasn't there I don't know.

[SlugLobber]

Bored of it all now, really. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[bloom]

I can't abare either of them and there not funny and they are over paid with my hard earned money! JR or RB will not be missed in my house!

Am I bovvered? Am I bovvered dough?

Yeah, they were daft - but I would hazard a guess that none of those that have complained about it have ever seen an episode of Jackass, or Phonejacker, Brass Eye.

Nothing new.

I think Miss Baillie would have been fair game, but her Grandfather probably hates what she's doing anyway, and didn't/doesn't need to be taunted about whatever she has/hasn't been up to with Russell Brand. The thought of my grandad getting a call like that... (I was no angel in my late teens )
I do find Russell Brand quite funny, but this call should have been edited out by the show's producer before it was broadcast, and Mr Sachs ought to have had an apology before the media got hold of the story.
As for Jonathon Ross... I can't bear to watch his 'Friday Night With' show anymore, he's like a particularly grubby minded, leacherous old man, and I am not remotely interested in his sexual fantasies of every female guest that sits in front of him So I'm not too bothered that he's off the telly for a bit.
