Question of the Week: Should Ross Resign?

Posted Tue 28 Oct 2008 3:43PM GMT by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
Unless you've been living in a cave for the last few days, you'll have found it impossible to miss the furore over Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross' controversial outburst on Brand's Saturday evening radio show.

The pair have been heavily criticised due to a series of answer phone messages left for actor Andrew Sachs in which Brand claims to have had sex with Sachs' granddaughter. The full story can be read here.

Listen to the interview in full below and let us know your verdict on this week's question:

Was Russell Brand right to resign from the BBC and should Jonathan Ross follow his lead?

time for them to go

2. Yahoo! Music User -
funny but cringeworthy

3. grover -
it sounds quite shocking in print but if you've ever listened to Brand's radio show before then this is pretty tame.

If you trawled through the Russell Brand archive I'm sure you'd find some things that are a lot more shocking.

Verdict: Hang them both!

4. Yahoo! Music User -
Ross used to be funny but not anymore. This stuff is just not funny and they should both be made examples of.

5. DAVID -
sack them both

6. Madrileno -
Sack both of them, no compensation due to breaking contractual code (re Telecomm Act & Broadcasting), prosecute for incitement to cause trouble for 78 yr old Andrew Sachs (who could have easily "tipped" and harmed himself) Prosecute for defamation of character re Mr Sachs granddaughter. Order a massive compensation payment on both of these adolescent miscreants to be paid to Mr Sachs and the young lady. Ban them from broadcasting in any form for 10 years. Their history goes before them - they've been walking a tightrope for too long- get rid, there are plenty of great replacements out there.

9. sverre -
i think you russell brand are as funny as rubbing marmite in your eyes and you johnathan ross are an overpaid pratt and both of you should be dismissed how can you belittle that poor girl would you have liked it ross the pratt if someone was talking about your daughter its a good job andrew sachs is getting on cos if that was me i would personally re arrange both of your boat races i will always turn off my set when you pair of [profane] come on you waste of spaces

10. Yahoo! Music User -
THEY SHOULD BOTH BE SACK AND THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO APOLGISE TO THE FAMILY OF ANDREW SACHS
THEY ARE BOTH A DISGRACE TO THE BBC

11. Yahoo! Music User -
SACHS THEM BOTH

12. kerry -
ITS THE FAMILY THAT SHUD B APOLOGISED TO..
RUSSEL AND JR WHERE LIKE 2 BIG SCHOOL KIDS AND THEY WENT ON 2 MUCH WITH IT..IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC GOT A CALL LIKE THAT THEYD B LOCKED UP SURELY...
BUT COMPARED 2 THE MAD STUFF RUSSEL HAS DONE IN PAST THIS IS LAME AND NOT WORTH THE PUBLICITY ITS HAD..BLOWN OUTA PROPORTION I SAY!!

13. Yahoo! Music User -
Both of them are complete tossers. I don't find either Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross remotely funny, the pair of them are a waste of space.

14. Mr K -
Ross always goes to far and should have had his tongue removed long ago. Brand is just a pratt.
Fire both of them now. Then black list them so they can't work any more.

15. William -
both a waste of space join the real world

16. Peter -
the editor,sacked.Rather than sack the other two,ask youreself why they thought you would be entertained!

17. Yahoo! Music User -
much ado about nothing! but both really annoying!

18. bill -
both an absolute pair of tossers.
get rid of them both

19. Yahoo! Music User -
i think everyone is over reacting just a bit and i found i quite funny actually! brand is a legend!

20. Yahoo! Music User -
Totally agree with some earlier comments, it is very boring and way blown out of proportion. on print it may look bad but after saying it they spent most of their time apologising from the minute it was said. I believe that is enough on the subject there is more important things to talk about.
