    the media has hyped this far more than should of been, YES, sum of the content was very wrong, and like 2 school boys snipping…. BUT this was record weeks ago, and the BBC heads decide to air this as entertainment…!!! so the nuck should be fallin on their ar5es also… but ive read the content in the dailly mail 2day… and yes quiet lewd etc at times, but no worst than sum comdeians on a dailly basis…. heads should roll, but I’ll miss me fridays nite way JR…. rite or wrong they did appologise does this not count..?? u’d think they commintted a killing… folks seems to forgive murders more than this sitiuation, murders writing books and folks buying them…!!1 seems 1 rule for 1 and another… but its just my opintion…. shoot me doon…

    I think the pair of them should have been sacked – instantly! Blaming the granddaughter is a bit like blaming the victim for the crime! So what if she is in a band you might not like the name of or does not wear enough clothes for some to see her as ‘decent’. OK, if she showed lack of judgement it was touching Brand without the aid of a 60 foot pole! To me, it is not just the fact that they did it and luckily did not get away with it but that two ADULT men actually lacked the common sense and brain power to realise that this was not acceptable. Yes, black comedy and poking fun at ourselves and those in a position of power or influence is a British thing and sometimes is very good but to target an elderly man – who was with his wife in hospital at the time in this manner was way beyond what is acceptable. We have enough problems with lack of respect to the elderly and in society in general and these two morons nearly got away with something like this and that we have a few who cannot see the harm in it only emphasises how bad this has become and how low standards have become seen as normal on TV and radio.

    There is a lot of difference between stretching boundaries and trying out new things than to get cheap laughs out of an old man who has more important things on his mind than these two twats!

    just a couple of points that I think are relevant

    brands relationship with the woman had been the subject of a joke running for weeks BEFORE andrew sachs agent booked him to appear (by phone) on the programme. Any agent worth their salt would have known this and briefed their client.

    brands show is aired after 10pm AND after a warning that listeners may be offended by the content

    the phone calls were an ad lib section of the show, a filler neccessary because andrew sachs had pulled out at the last minute (of course he is perfectly entitled to do this), this was not something scripted, edited and reviewed before its performance…spontaneous humour just does tend to run nearer the mark

    neither brand nor ross produce their own shows, the overall control over what is broadcast lies with others

    andrew sachs is very far from being some doddery old fart, completely out of touch with current culture and humour, the tone of his portrayal in the press has crossed the border into ageism

    andrew sachs was asked if he gave his permission for those calls to be aired, he gave it….he did ask for some editing, but he was happy with the overall tone

    Those points made, I found the “joke” tasteless (as indeed it was when brand made comments about sleeping with rod stewarts daughter at the brits) and immature, just not as tasteless and immature as the collossal over reaction …that I’m now adding to.

    I havent seen anyone blame the grandaughter for the incident.

    BUT you make the exact point I am making- “lack of respect and society in general…low standards etc”

    The grandaughter sh/agged a very famous, notorious, womaniser who has a media persona which is over the top and consistently at the edge of what is and isnt funny. Just like so many of us who have sh/agged someone and then thought, “perhaps that wasnt the greatest thing I could have done”, you reap what you sow and sh/agging Russell Brand was not very bright…and Brand boasting was typically infantile and not that funny. Thats pretty much all there is to it- you wil hear this type of conversation in tens of thousands of pubs every weekend- two blokes discussing the previous nights encounters- nothing new, not that funny but very very very normal. The hysterical reaction to a normal event for many many of us is somewhat bemusing

    What I will continue to say is the grandaughter can never claim to be concerrned about the impact on her grandfather of her sexual shennanigans with Brand whilst she continues to humiliate him in her very public Satanic Slut persona.
