Topic: Ross and Brand

[Carol]

Boy they aren't half making the news just now and not before time.  I cannot stand either of them.  I refuse to watch or listen to Brand but now and then Wossy has an interesting guest on his show on TV and tend to look see whats going on,but really that man cannot conduct an interview without inuendos, crudeness or whatever.  How he has got away with it over the years I just do not know and his annual salary of (forgot the number)  millions is way way over the top.  Fingers crossed here they both get sacked.  It is time the BBC cleaned up their act. 

Rant over. ::)

I  stopped watching a long time ago.So juvenile.Hope they get the sack.

Couldn't agree more. I'm no prude, but what they did was disgusting - telling a grandfather that you had sex with his grandaughter, then broadcast the message on tv... astonishingly bad taste.

Brand can be funny, but chooses to act like a pillock. Ross is arrogant and overpaid.

Fire them both, I say, although I'm sure they'll find a suit to take the flack instead.

and to think Kenny Everett got the sack from the Beeb for making a joke about the wife of the Transport Minister failing her driving test..........

I just find it amazing that the BBC could employ a tasteless, talentless oik like Brand.  He was sacked from MTV for turning up, the day after the 11th September attrocities dressed as Osama bin Laden, he was also sacked from another radio station for broadcasting pornography.

Ross has a weird obsession with bodily functions, particularly his own, which begs the suggestion ' too much information'.

They are both repulsive, arrogant, and I object to the licence fee tax being used to fund such crap.

If Woss and Brand were sacked the BEEB could use their salaries to cut our TV license bills. They earn obscene amounts of money for being...........well obscene.

The license fees are far too high for the rubbish thats on anyway

10,000 complains from people who never even heard the programme, they have all got worked up from the media frenzy.

[Borlotti]

I think that they have both 'got out of their pram' and think they can do anything they like.  Let's hope they both get the sack and hopefully get taken to court for obscene phone calls.  I expect alcohol and/or drugs had a lot to do with it and it seemed funny at the time but it is about time they both grew up.

[kenkew]

Time both of 'em went and got a proper job and stopped fleecing and 'laughing' at their employers/payers/and people who can't answer back.
 Sack both of them.
 What sort of people need that sort of people?
 Absolute waste of air-space and money.

Russell Brand - secret love child of Jo Brand and Laurence Lewellen Bowen

[Mr Smith]

Find the pair of them are totally disgusting, I would not leave Brand alone with your cat ;)

[dtw]

Georgina Baillie, 23, also threatened that she could make an official complaint to police, but admitted she had slept with Brand.

 ;D

[OllieC]

I must admit, I didn't know who Andrew Sachs was until this happened - maybe there's still time for him to relaunch his career?

[SamLouise]

I'm not a fan of either of them, I don't think they're very funny at all (but that's just personal taste) I watch JR on Film 2008 because he's passionate about film and I like that but other than that, I think they're a pair of numpties who fail at comedy because they don't know when to stop.  A joke's not funny when it's being milked for the following twenty minutes.  Having said that, I personally believe this is being blown a little out of proportion!  What they did was wrong, I agree (infact when trying to listen to it on youtube yesterday, it became so boring and embarrassing, I had to turn it off) but for the PM to speak about it, and the media frenzy surrounding it?  Come on, it's a little overboard don't you think?  I don't know how it should be dealt with (especially with the swearing etc) but for them to both be sacked over it I think is a little silly.  Of course I wouldn't mind them both disappearing from the media face of the earth but not this way.  Just my two penneth.

Jonathan Ross always gives Kevin Smith films a slating, which is the main reason I have no respect for him! How can you love film but hate Kevin Smith?

[hellohelenhere]

Other film reviewers have said that they never see Jonathan Ross at film previews - it seems likely that it's all scripted for him by his team!
I hope this does dent his career, he's paid far too much and he's a *terrible* interviewer, I can't watch him.

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

would be nice to think we might see the back of Jonathon Ross, but I doubt it's going to happen

who's Kevin Smith?

[wilko]

I didn't hear the broadcast, but i understand it was pre recorded ! so isn't it the job of the producer to edit such stuff? maybe the blame lies with him or her.
I wouldn't miss either of them, as I listen to neither one of them..........

[OllieC]

who's Kevin Smith?

Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks 2, Orange County (the only bad one)...
