The BBC programmer who allowed it to be broadcast will probably carry the can.

i believe they should both be sacked for what they did there, i have read a transcript of the message and it was not what i would call 'suitable for public broadcast'

At the ABSOLUTE least they should be fined by the BBC for their actions, both of them earn very good money from the Beeb, they should be made to pay some of that back for the insult they broadcast

I used to like Rossy, but recently he has become more and more of an arsehole

JR and RB like to be controversial.....like to see how far they can go...see what they can get away with.

This time they went too far and offended several people in the process....

This is clearly unacceptable.My understanding is that both JR and RB have made an apology..sent flowers in the case of JR.

Bad judgement ..yes.. tactless also....but time to move on in my opinion....besides who would watch JR if he came over all PC. :y :y

Why should they be?

I'm not a fan of Brand (or Ross for that matter), but both have made their comedic careers on taking the piss.

Both have got to go and not be given jobs elsewhere and not given severance pay. And some BBC execs ought to go as well. It won't happen of course, never does - no accountability. People like Brand and Ross just keep pushing the envelope of decency. Where will it end. And then we wonder why society is like it is.

Am I the only one that thinks it a bit odd that the BBC has a Friday night show where "guests" come on to plug their book/film/time in the jungle AND the licence payer pays the presenter an arm and a leg? £18m I wouldn't pay him more than £50k a year. Same with Carol Vorderman. £1.5 million to put a few letters and numbers on a stand.

Off me soap box now!

The message left on Andrew Sachs answer machine was a lot more than taking the piss

I have never liked Brand, but used to think Woss was ok but think they should both be sacked for this.

The best bit about Johnfon Woss's Saturday radio show was when he was off & Mark Lamarr and Jo Brand stood in for him.  ;D  ;D  ;D  :y :y

Yes, they both should go. It was an act of maliciousness. If one of us received messages like that on our answerphone, we would be outraged, and rightly so.  If a private citizen should not be allowed to get away with it, there's no way TV "celebs" should. Indeed, I think they should both be prosecuted.  >:(

[rant mode] My tuppence... Brand is an horrid crass idiot and should've been institutionalised many years ago. Ross has his funny moments but if you watch Friday night with... he is extremely rude, insulting and talks down to people. I'd high jump the pair of them! As for poor Andrew Sachs and his family I feel for them and I hope they pursue this matter to the highest level!  >:( [/rant mode]
