    I am afraid that because of the fuss they caused, they will be more marketable, and eventually the controversy will get them higher payouts.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks - "who cares?"

    its just self promotion, and ultimately its the old, any publicity is good publicity thing.

    the fact that bottler brown is wasting time in parliament discussing it when he should be talking about getting out of recession, repaying national debt, finishing wars etc etc just about sums up the state of the country.

    I get sick and tired of this "who cares" rubbish. The BBC have guidelines and quite clearly, they were broken in this instance. Where is the line drawn? How bad do they have to be before people stop saying "who cares, its only entertainment blah blah".

    Funny how that if this stunt was done on commercial radio, the DJ or presenter concerned would have lost their job, and the radio station fined a lot of money by OFCOM.

    The BBC are supposed to be professional at what they do, this stunt was bad taste and very UNprofessional, and I expect better from what is supposed to be the best broadcaster in the world. Sometimes, we wonder why our money is being wasted on worthless talent like Russel Brand and Ranker Ross.

    I know 100's of folk, and not one of them finds Brand funny, so why do the Beeb give him so much air time, and go as far as paying the witless wonder?

    If it was a commercial station, they would have been sacked days ago, along with the editor, producer, etc......why should the BBC be any different.

    If someone had done that to my grandad, I'd have just picked up my mates, gone round, and beat the crap out of them.

    James Whale was sacked from Talksport for breaching broadcasting regulations, and Brand and Woss have done more than that.

    Not so funny now is it:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7696714.stm

    "Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are to be suspended and all their shows taken off air until the BBC has investigated their prank calls made on Radio 2."

    I wonder how many wind up phone call pranks will be attempted on the supended two?

    Now we know we can insult them however we like as long as we say sorry didn't really mean it makes it alright.

    A good example of why some people I meet seem to think they can do anything they like and as long as they say sorry afterwards its ok.

    First idiot bankers, mp's every other day and now these two (who i normally find funny in small doses)
    All think they can do what they like and then say sorry didn't mean it and expect us all to go. Oh thats ok.

    I still don't see it..

    The grandfather, some guy who did a dozen comedy shows taking the p1ss out of the spanish. The granddaughter, some floozy stripper, who brand slept with.

    The accused, two rubbish presenters that I never watch.

    On radio 2 at 9pm. come on please.

    What I would say is that they are both overpaid.. but they are overpaid because of the controversy they create(manufacture) for themselves.

    Actually, Andrew has done a hell of a lot since Faulty Towers, he's pretty big on the radio circuits, and you hear his voice a lot without knowing it, as he's done 100's of voice overs for documentaries, and still does them now.

    No wonder people are losing respect in society.
    People in the media should be better role models for too many gullible people.

    No one has pointed out that this event is probably the best scientific research on evolution & cultural change.

    Taking the age range 25-28, the majority of those below thought the prank was funny, the majority of those over thought it wasn't. A complete culture change, and started 25-28 years ago.

    It will take that and more to reverse if.....if ever....

    True and many even if they thought it was not funny, many thought the two indivuals had the "Right to say what they like".

    The week thing as well as the stiring up by the DM i bet was also due to iplayer or podcasts.

    Who actually watches or listens to programes on the intial airing anymore?

    I think the fact they made the phone calls in the first place which if i made to you for example you could have me nicked for due to the content. if it had never been aired then it is still an offence.

    The broadcasting of the recording is a seperate issue. If woss or brand wanted it stopped im sure they could of. You telling me Woss on 6 million a year doesn't have the clout to do such things?

    If they had not done it in the first place they would not have had a problem.

    The whats the point is exactly why something should be done. As thats the malise which means no one takes issue with people abusing others or breaking petty laws so they push it a little more and more.

    That's an irrelevant point these days, as folk can watch/listen to any past radio/tv show now when they want, and not just at the time it first goes out.

    And the other thing, they received 2 complaints on the night, it takes about 2-3 months for those complaints to be fully reviewed. I know, I got British Gas to change their ad earlier in the year

    From the very little they've shown on TV of the actual offending broadcast. it just looks soooooo childish with 2 grown men acting like 10 year olds who've dialled 999 and claimed their school is on fire.

    If Brand had slept with Sach's granddaughter (who's 23) then it's just fact. If she'd been 8 or 9 then it would have been another matter.

    Usually I find Brand rather irritating and Woss has just become self indulgent. I usually watch his chat show (if I can stay awake that late) and I find his unneccessary swearing annoying, rather like Gordon Ramsey. I'm no prude or Mary Whitehouse, but does bad language really have a place on national broadcasting? 5 or 10 years ago it was unheard of.
    Even comedy programmes such as Harry Enfield which could have been watched by the whole family 5 years ago is now unnecessarily smutty.

    It's been said that broadcasting is trying to be "edgy", but does "edgy" just mean "gutteral"?
    I never listen to Radio 2 as it's always been an old persons station to me, but surely by them having these "edgy" presenters they will lose their target audience.

    Regardless it got the Main two parties out of a load of grief ref ruskies on da boat.
    The Goverment hid the news well about the airports after 10s if not 100's of millions of wasted money in enquirys and what not was likely to be dropped from most people. Im sure plenty of other intresting gems were "released" and not covered due to lack of time and space.

    Just as the Tories looked like a major player was to be crucified it all blew up cheers daily mail.
    Then it looks like Labour needed it to say in the news cheers Sky.

    Of course many Media outlets will have a pop at the BBC at the drop of a hat so it played right into their hands when this was gifted to them.

    Yeah me too, its a good station, not sure about Victoria Derbyshire, she seems a bit fake at times. I also like Real Radio Wales, best music station in my opinion.

    I listen to Radio 2 a lot, it is ok but IMO should have more DJ's like Johnnie Walker and Radcliffe/Maconie - they play good music.
    They're all aged in their 50's and 60's
