Russell Brand has always been a **** though, he looks like a weirdo, sounds like a weirdo, I just dont get him at all, looks so creepy, I couldnt spend 5 minutes in his company.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story Sack the bastards. Russell Brand acts like a testoterone fuelled adolescent and Jonathan Woss is a complete waste of taxpayers money. The production team should never have aired it in the first place but the 2 pricks were the culprits of the stunt so their heads should roll.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story I guess some students will find it funny but for me it is morally distasteful, especially the quip about him committing suicide... [Speaking on Andrew Sachs' answerphone] Russell Brand: Hello Andrew Sachs, this is Russell Brand you are meant to be on my show now mate I am here with Jonathan Ross. I could still do the interview to your answerphone. Jonathan Jonathan Ross: Let's do it Brand: Man er, Andrew Sachs. Ross: Don't call him Manuel, that's really bad manners. I apologise for Russell - he's an idiot. Brand: I said Andrew Sachs! Look Andrew Sachs I have got respect for you and your lineage and your progeny, never let that be questioned. Ross: Don't hint Brand: I weren't hinting! Why did that come across as a hint? Ross: Because you know what you did Brand: That wasn't a hint Ross: He f***ed your granddaughter! [laughter in the studio] Brand: That's his answerphone! Ross: I'm sorry I apologise Andrew, I apologise, I can't help it, you were talking about it and it was in my head, I apologise. Brand: Jonathan! Ross: I got excited, what can I say, it just came out. Brand: Right. you wait till I come on your show. Andrew Sachs I did not do nothing with Georgina oh no, I revealed I know her name! Oh no, it's a disaster! Abort, abort! Put the phone down, put the phone down, code red, code red! I'm sorry Mr Fawlty, I'm sorry. You're a waste of space! Oh no, Jonathan Ross: Why did you tell me? I forgot. You mentioned her and then it was in my head and then it came out. Brand: I know you can't be blamed for this It's too much for you Ross: He is the poor man at home sobbing over his answer machine. Brand: What's going to happen? I will get a call now from the satanic sluts. Ross: If he is like most people of a certain age he has probably got a picture of his grandchildren when they were young and innocent right by the phone. So while he is listening to the message he is looking at a picture of her when she was about nine on a swing Brand: She was on a swing when I met her let's ring back Andrew Sachs. [They call for a second time] Ross: Hello! Manuel here! Sachs: [his answer machine message] Sorry I can't answer at the moment Brand: [interrupting] I am too busy thinking about killing myself Andrew, this is Russell Brand. I am so sorry about the last message - it was part of the radio show, it was a mistake The truth is I am phoning you to ask if I can marry - that's right, marry - Georgina the granddaughter. Ross: And I would like to be a page boy. Brand: He wants to be a page boy, we are going to have a Fawlty Towers-themed wedding. Ross: Now you've spoilt it! Brand: No! I made it better. I'm sorry, I'll do anything. I wore a condom. Put the phone down! Oh what's going to happen. Look I've got a mental illness. Do you think that made it better? Ross: You will never become king rat in the Variety Club now. Brand: Oh no, that's over for me now Jonathan I think we've made the situation worse ... We've got to stop upsetting Manuel. This time Jonathan I'm convinced we can make it better. Ross: Let's just sing to him. Brand: I'll make up something as I go along [Third message] Brand: [singing ] I'd like to apologise for the terrible attacks, Andrew Sachs, I would like to show contrition to the max, Andrew Sachs. I would like to create world peace, between the yellow, white and blacks, Andrew Sachs, Andrew Sachs. I said something I didn't have oughta, like I had sex with your granddaughter. But it was consensual and she wasn't menstrual, it was consensual lovely sex. It was full of respect I sent her a text, I've asked her to marry me, Andrew Sachs Ross: This has made it worse, you have trivialised the whole incident. Brand: Hang up, hang up! It's trivialised it! Ross: You know there is one way we could possibly make it better Brand: We can keep ringing, and even after the show's finished, kick his front door in and scream apologies into his bottom. Ross: Hello, Manuel is not in right now. Please leave a message after the tone [Fourth message] Brand: I am sorry, I am so sorry that I had a difficult life, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Andrew. Let's just take some time together, we can meet up. Ross: You're making it worse, just say sorry. Brand: Jonathan Ross is sorry as well, it was his idea Sorry about everything that's ever happened [Later] Brand: No one could have been offended by anything that went on in that show. Ross: Who could possibly be offended by anything there? If they were they are crazy people. Brand: If Andrew Sachs listens to his answerphone message when he gets it Ross: The saving grace is you didn't have anything to do with his granddaughter did you? Brand: Oh actually I did, I slept with her, but it was ultimately undermined, not undermined, underlined with love

With you 100% about Russel Brand. Don't understand why he's made it to where he is. Freaky looking idiot, whats that mullet he sports supposed to be?? If I looked like that, I'd be a fcuking druggie too!! Looks like he's tried to model himself on a cartoon! In all honesty I think it was Jonathons fault in the 1st place with the grand kid joke, but at least he has given to TV in 1 way or another in all the years he's been on, at least thats what I think  Whats Brand done?? BBC should use this as an excuse and sack this talentless prick.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story How is sacking them over the top. I think what they said is a sad reflection of the society we live in whereby it seems that anything goes. Ringing up a grandfather on air and stating that 1 of them fcuked his granddaughter isn't funny and it's not what taxpayers money should be used to do either.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story It's way over the top, because you are imposing your taste on others. I thought we'd got rid of this crap when mary whitehouse died. It's the same as the people who went to court to try and get "jerry springer the musical" banned. It's the whole "it offends me, make it go away" thing. Well too bad bro, change the channel and watch / listen to something else. There are hundreds of other channels. Have some respect for other people that may enjoy it. Demanding a man loses a job is deeply arrogant. Did he fcuk his grand daughter ? I'm guessing he did and that she probably enjoyed it. Good for him. So what ? If this is the worst thing that happened to Andrew Sachs that day he can count himself as having a good day in my book. What did he think his grand daughter was a chaste virgin princess? I'm betting she's not 12 years old. Tax payers money ? I'm pretty certain that most people are offended by something on the bbc at some point in the year, it's funded to provide a service and that sometimes means taking chances and pushing the edge. What do you want to do ? Live in the 1950s ?? Only in England would this be a story.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story Here's the grand daughter btw, a stripper, page 3 wannabe who wants to be an "actress". The publicity is the best thing that's ever happened to her. I'd fcuk her as well mind

The fact is he said that to her granddad!!  Its not the same as just saying it to a mate in the street, or even 1 of her pals! Its the same as saying you fcuked someone you didnt to her dad, ofcourse their goign to be raging. And as part of a radio show?? Think your forgettting that its someone that probably remembers changing her nappy when she was a kid. They don't want to and should not hear this.

| Re: Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Andrew Sachs Story channel 4 have just picked up on this, ive been saying it all day. The world is a complete shit hole, the world economy is ****** and the main headline on the NEWS (note news, this isnt ******* news) is about some idiots trying to fill up some radio time with something at worst, mildly offensive to the public. Honestly I can understand why the old boy is a bit annoyed but seriously why the **** have there been 10000 complaints about this?!?The number of complaints has sky rocketed since yesterday and the thing was broadcast over a week ago - proving that people are reading about and complaining...Anyone who is actually offended by this (apart from Mr Sachs himself - although his daughter seems like a ho and he must know this) is probably too fragile to go outside; they might have a heart attack if a dog barks or someone beeps their horn. I find it laughable that politicians think we are that stupid: the tories wont give us an interview about why they are trying to sponge money off some russian gazillionaire. Gordon Brown is yet to respond to the UN about whether we are willing to bolster the peace keeping force in the Congo. Yet they are all more than happy to get on the telly and show their disgust at this, **** off! They wont sack Brand because they dont want to sack Ross. Anyway im off to complain because by the time ive written this everyone else in britain will have and i wouldnt want to be the odd one out. |
