That would be very funny if they hadn't been such tossers in the first place. Contrition to the max, Andrew Sachs is very funny. But in context, they are smacking in own goals in front of an open goal.

Well. That's settled that, then.

but I just think they've been shitty to Andrew Sachs. And Jonathan Ross can't hold a candle to Russell Brand's (admittedly clever) lines on the clip which makes him look even less funny.

there is an elephant in the room. This time it's a senior BBC executive waving A WAD OF £20 notes just off-camera and holding a sign saying...THERE'S MUCH MORE OF THESE FOR YOU IF YOU SOUND SINCERE ENOUGH.

Wonder if wonderboy Wossie is signing any copies of his "blockbuster" book around the country before Christmas. Would be a apt opportunity for us to voice our opinion on his juvenile antics.

Jonathan Ross is nearly 48. He has an OBE. He is a wanker. Official.

that when Brand and Ross are pushing 80 the equivalent kings of comedy of the day will remember who they are and see fit to insult them and their families on air. Somehow I doubt it's going to happen.

And am I the only one to wonder whether the most appropriate soundtrack for this whole sorry saga might not be provided by a certain well-known J.J. Cale song that was covered by Eric Clapton?*

(*Yep, that's right. Very good. I am, of course, referring to "After Midnight".)

It feels like this story has very little to do with Andrew Sachs and his sense of propriety and a lot more with promoting both Brand and Ross's respective shows. Nice of Radio 1 to replay all the offensive stuff (bleeped of course) during their Newsbeat segment. Classy journalism.

... self-centered twats.

..of time and money while Brand seems to suffer from Tourettes syndrome.
What lucky people we are...

... the silence from Lesley Douglas is deafening.
But if and when she does say something, no doubt the word 'edgy' will feature.

that what you're doing has a reality outside"

now they really are having a laugh

Cut their goolies off I say!

..was rubbish "here's a Russell Brand apology" whatever that is. And a sheepish "but it was quite funny". No, it wasn't.
