if you listen to the full broadcast Russell was the bigger offender including assuring sasch not to worry his granddaughter wasn't menstrual. |

I reckon as a pre-record, though, someone on the producing/editing side should have been keeping an eye.. or ear as the case may be, on what was being said and taken it out if it was deemed offensive. |

Posts: 52 | November 1st, 2008 at 07:19am It was a very tasteless joke, and I agree that Russell and Jonathon (and the editing team, as they should have pulled the broadcast) should have been suspended, but I think that 12 weeks is too harsh. The people who listen to their shows know what they are like, and know what to expect. They have both apologised to Mr Sachs, so that should be the end of it.
What makes me laugh is that only 2 people complained, until the moral compass of middle class Britain that is the daily mail stuck its nose in. |

Posts: 3158 | November 1st, 2008 at 01:04pm most of the people who complained probably haven't even listened to the prank,
it's just a chance for people who don't like Brand & Ross to fuel their hatred/have something to complain about.
fair enough, it was a stupid thing for them to do, but they have both
apologised and even Sachs said he was over the whole situation now.
and tbh, if his granddaughter sold the story of her sleeping with Brand,
wouldn't Sachs of known anyway?
and now, friggin' Gordon Brown's involved?
"forget about the war in Iraq! Brand and Ross have gone done a whoopsie"
ARGH, this whole situation angers me greatly. haha. |

The Daily Mail have already turned there attention to other shows, like the episode of Mock The Week that was broadcast on Tuesday, despite it being a repeat from over 2 years ago.

It's the people who airred the show that should get the sack. |
