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?

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.

yes. that'll be why he's agreeing to do phone interviews with arsehole celebrity DJs, etc.

isn't he still doing the odd piece of voiceover work, too?

Is he still the last statue you see at Madame Tussaud's?

they'll move him back up the celebrity scale again now, no doubt.

He'll be in the jungle with Ant & Dec next

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 11:01 (fifteen years ago) link

god! Probably.

Are they still doing that "celebrity fantasy league" the BBC?

Mark G, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 11:05 (fifteen years ago) link

Ah yes, Ant & Dec with their hilarious "blacked up" "Rich Arabs" "wind-up" "routine." Most fitting for the nation's favourite Chiswick-dwelling Tory-voting professional Geordies!

Sachs I think still relatively busy on the voiceover/audio books front.

wasn't that "rich arabs" just a total nick off that NewsOfTheWorld.. oh right!

Mark Heap, Tras Duprez

"Using make-up sticks we transformed our white reporter Tras Duprez, into a black man to see if the law would treat him any differently. Within five minutes, he'd committed a pocket theft and by mid-afternoon, he was attacking passers-by with violent muggings, and fleecing them viciously on the cobbles."

As soon as Mediawatch and David Davies start calling for them to be sacked I want them to be retained at higher salaries.

Outrage in the Times and they handily provide a link to the original calls.

Cant, cant, cant.

Exactly the same thing at the Telegraph.

David Attenborough, Miley Cyrus and Frank Skinner on Ross on friday. I wonder if any of them will decline the invite?

is this your jonathan ross impression? it's quite good.

Skinner will give Ross some stick - what did Ross say when Skinner got into trouble over the "Matthew Kelly's beard" joke?

snoball, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:09 (fifteen years ago) link

Frank Skinner should make a few jokes about Ross's wife's nervous breakdown, it's what Russell Brand would do

The Daily Mail has got all the info and photos of Andrew Sachs daughter in stockings and high heels you need - including a transcript of the phone calls and Andrew Sachs saying basically 'calm down everybody'.

Miss Baillie said last night: 'I've only just got back.
'I was aware of what happened but I just need some time to get my head together now.
'I don't want to say anything more until I've had a chance to speak to my agent.'

Isn't it a pretty pass when Andrew Sachs is reduced to doing Harry Enfield "Scouser" impressions for a living?

Haven't the Mail managed to shoehorn Peter Mandelson into the story yet?

Telegraph, as Tom said above, also provides a link to the source - so much for "double standards."

Someone should report all these newspapers to the PCC and have them formally censured.
