I'm glad it wasn't though. I mean, it was a nasty, cunty thing to do, sure, it was also funny.

what was funny about it

YEah, leaving abusive messages on a 78 year old's answering machine is hilarious.

lol, still not as knob obsessed as Ross though.

I'd be interested to know the number of complaints the BBC received immediately after the broadcast compared with the number they received after it was spread all over the Mail on Sunday.

Fairly typical Rag Week humour aimed at a Rag Week audience - I didn't find it funny but nor did I find it particularly offensive.

But then the Mail publishes the whole thing in lurid detail and suddenly there's a scandal, rebukes etc.

Seems fairly clear to me who the actual "villains" are in this case.

Ross and Brand?

No one would have given a toss about any of this had the Mail not decided to make an issue out of it because of their long-standing vested interests in getting rid of/privatising the BBC.

But Tabloids Need Good Stories and especially Good Headlines!

Andrew Sachs might have cared. It's not exactly newsworthy but then again it's not the NOTW publishing the names of every sex offender in Britain either.

I'm not aware that the Daily Mail was the only one newspaper to cover this story

yeh, and it's not just the mail who've run with it, either.

i've got next to no interest in this story, didn't hear the broadcast and haven't been paying much attention, so i don't feel entirely qualified to comment. i am a little surprised by how upset people seem to be getting about it, but perhaps that's because i'm an old cynic with a heart of stone.

Anyway, if the BBC are going to employ Jonathan Cunt for £6 million a year go ahead and privatise the fuckers

^ yes.

It's a perfect fable of how lewd, sex-obsessed, binge-drinking modern Britain is pissing and trampling over the memory of the Britain we once loved, especially that of the nation's favourite racial caricature.

the nation's favourite racial caricature

Which Cockney Wanker are you referring to Brand or Cunt?

Or maybe George Lamb?

If the BBC were privatised, wouldn't that make it more likely JRoss would get enormopaymoneys, not less?

Or is that not the point? (I know what yr reply here is, public funded etc...)

I wish this crap would just go away and stop cluttering up my news broadcasts with drivel. I understand the BBC has to do public handwringing and the other networks need to gloat but perhaps the BBC could give over the Brand and Ross programmes to this dross rather than waste mine and John Humphrey's time with it.

It's on the level of every pub conversation ever, really, this whole business.

And coincidentally millions are reminded that Andrew Sachs is still with us and available for work.

Jim Davidson, "Chalky"

Harry Enfield, "Nelson Mandela"

And also coincidentally, the ratings for Ross and Brand's R2 shows next week will go through the roof.

That'd be Ben Kingsley, real name "Krishna Bhanji", yes?

Bo Selecta passim

David Baddiel as Jason Lee

Although, in fairness, that was as funny as it was racist.

I'm just sticking around to see if Ed provides the correct spelling for any of the named performers he cites. Although I suppose it is a form of Googleproofing.

The poll would be futile because it'd be dozens of forgotten options, a big fight, and then a 25-vote landslide victory for Borat once all the Americans turn up.

futility is our middle name.

ILX futility.
