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?

Enough is enough people, this is getting ridiculous. For the people that say Russell Brand should be sacked as well, why? he didn't do anything wrong, it was Jonathan who said the "offending" words, Russell just apologized for his friends rudeness, the conversation before that moment was normal banter as far as I can tell. As to those who say Andrew Sach's granddaughter is probably 12, she's not, she's a model & has admitted to a relationship with Brand. I think people need to get off their high horse & leave them alone, it feels like everyone is so wound up about the credit crisis, the war in Iraq, the government & everything else, that they're jumping on any chance to chastise someone for the anger they feel.

Thelewd and arrogant Jonathon Ross should resign immediately - or be fired; together with a few heads at the BBC.

We all like a laugh, but these two idiots have been allowed to push the boundaries to the limit, and they have used this to go beyond the limit of abusing someone else for a laugh. I wonder how they would feel if someone left a message for their wives/partners to come home to??

125. Raymond -
nothing funny about this is this the type of crap these two prats are getting paid for two six year old children would be funnier as for brand resigningbig deal wont be missed not as funny as he thinks he is

126. DEREK -
Jonathan Ross as too many friends with lots of money.That is what is show is about,promoting themselves, latest record ect..

127. karen -
yes ross should resign as well he is a rude vulgar man

128. M C -
correct me if i am wrong or not. what both of them have done amounts to a criminal offence so they should face charges by the police.how would they feel if the shoe was on the other foot ? brand was like a puppet and ross had his hand up his back and worked him well,,, the person who let this be broadcast should be sacked along with the other 2 tossers.

Its about time these so called stars where brought into line with the rest of society and stopped using foul and abusive language on the media and the same should be dished out to all the others that think its cool to use this sort of foul language on the media. The producer of this show should go also for allowing it to go on air.

brand jumped sack ross!

131. terry -
Yes Jonathan Ross should resign along
with his mate Brand.They both think they are
comedians but they're not.

132. SU -
Both should be sacked, also the editer who let it go out.

133. JOSEPH -
Although i am not a fan of Mr Ross i think he should do the most honourable thing and resign.

134. Yahoo! Music User -
It was a joke that went wrong and has been blow out of proportion. Andrew Sachs grandaughter is quite clearly loving all of the attention as it will boost her none existent career.

135. Yahoo! Music User -
I thought it was only me who didn't get their humour

136. P -
Mr ross should show he has a back bone, and do the right thing and RESIGN.

137. Yahoo! Music User -
Ross should resign. Some other lower quality station will pick him up anyway.

138. Brian S -
I think Jonathon Ross should go, for a man getting 6 million a year, he should have known better, especially the way the world economy is going, very silly men.

139. Yahoo! Music User -
DON'T SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS - I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. YOU LOT NEED TO GET OUT MORE!

READ A BIT MORE INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE MOUTHING OFF!

140. JOHN -
At least one of the Moron's has gone, lets hope the BBC sacks Ross as well, then they could spend there money on far better things than the rubbish ross dishes up on Friday nights and Saturday mornings
