russell brand - C or D?

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"

Postman Patel

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.

Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer, The Ponderers

Julian Barrat Rudy Van der Sose

One of those Little Britain fuckers - Ting Tong.

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.

Pretty much anyone from It Ain't Half Hot Mum or Allo Allo, including the Brits.

Pretty much everyone in everything.

Andrew Sachs probably does not want publicity or employment any more than your grandfather does.

People who want to privatize the BBC and destroy PSB are bad and sinister.

Ross and Brand are scum who degrade this country's public culture and they should not employed by the BBC.

Plenty of offensive jokes are made in pubs and on messageboards.

But when they are published in mass market circulation newspapers then isn't it the newspapers who should be censured?

Why would they want to destroy the Pet Shop Boys?

So pay me £6 million a year then

He also busked outside this restaurant to drum up business for it. So, you know, it was a kinder gentler racism with a heart of gold.

23 Brook Street - oddly enough, Jimi Hendrix's gaff.
