AIRARMSTX200 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) hi i second that whole heartedly. sack em on the spot to do it on air is one thing but to actually leave such digusting material and language on andrews personell answerphone it's utterly disgusting. i've just heard on the radio they have been suspended for preliminary enquiries into their behaviour. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1867800.ece Edited October 29, 2008 by AIRARMSTX200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr W Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Not quite so black and white this one. Have already read that the grand daughter is a friend of either one or both of them and is in a stripping group called the Satanic Sluts. She will now act all innocent while the ratings for her go through the roof. Quite what Gordon Brown was doing getting involved I'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I listened to the show in question, not that I like either of them, and was very shocked at the content, even more so by the fact that it was pre-recorded and still managed to get past the BBC administration prior to broadcast. Im sure the weight of the licence payers money will demand that they will be removed from their contracts and I must say that my opinion of this is that this is quite correct. Both Ross and Brant have sailed close to the wind in licence funded broadcasts time and time again and this time Im afraid they have completely overstepped the mark and really sealed their own fate. If I were Mr Sachs or his Grandaughter I would without doubt seek legal redress. Will they be misssed ? Not by me.... Ross has made a fortune out of his sarcastic condescending gutter humour and Brand has some serious problems with his mental make up.... The guy is obviously short of a few brain cells. Is this what the once greatest broadcaster in the world has become.? The BBC is seriously in the spotlight as the national Broadcasting Corporation and in recent years the furore over the level of licence fee has exacerbated this. Im afraid if they dont take stringent action over these two it will cost them severely in the months to come. Im pretty sure that the average person ( like me) resents paying so much to listen to such filth. I think its goodbye to both of them and in my opinion good riddance. FM.

Axe Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 It is disgusting that they should feel above themselves to be able to actually do this, even on a pre-recorded show. This outrage has been made 10 times worse because someone actually allowed this to be aired. The chiefs at the beeb have a tough call to make, lets hope they make the right one.

MC Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I have to agree with Maiden, Scrap the licence fee and make the BBC stand on it's own two feet rather than on its guaranteed income.

NJW Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 according to a mate in the the media the producer was about 25 and she didnt stand a chance against those two. who would. its the beed that has failed in allowing that to happen. not that i condone abuse on the air!

agusta Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have to agree with Maiden, Scrap the licence fee and make the BBC stand on it's own two feet rather than on its guaranteed income. Yes but then we would have the same **** as ITV, channel 4 etc, not to mention the adverts which go on for 5+ minutes! Its highly unlikely they will get the boot, both provide the BBC with vast amounts of money from their shows. The BBC will not give that up quite so easily.

Zapp Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Personally I'd scrap the license fee. I cannot see any justification for the BBC anymore. Regardless of this puerile incident, the BBC is a disgrace. Robert Amen. I do like Terry Wogan's show though ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have the same **** and worse on the BBC, why should they be guaranteed an income only to fund complete tossers like these two in question. I know you don't have to watch the BBC but you still have to pay for it whether you do or don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They won't sack Brand or Ross because they can't pin gross misconduct on them. Why? Because they are "artists" and as such will always have a propensity to be "out there and on the edge" and following on, the decision to broadcast was ratified by the BBC through its executives. My money is on a BBC executive getting the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ain't that the truth, she's not exactly 'innocent', definitely playing up to it. exactly she's gained so much publicity out of it its unreal, probably the reason she shagged Brand in the first place. Ok some comments weren't in good taste but hearing it I've heard worse. Once again we have trial by media and lots of opinions of people who didn't even hear the show and are simply judging it on what they've read in the papers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ain't that the truth, she's not exactly 'innocent', definitely playing up to it. This may be so.... but why should Mr Sachs be subjected to abuse, hes the injurred party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
