russell brand - C or D?

It's almost like the whole paper's written by feckless Nazi cunts.

Tom Baker possibly worst host since Brian Blessed.

"best" host since blessed you mean!! they were both extraordinarily entertaining and doofy and both seemingly unrattled by constant stream of abuse they received from the panel

Oh, are people still giving a shit about this?

^^^ New Cape of Good Hope tagline

Oh, are people still giving a shit about this?

Bloated BBC out of touch with the viewers

But, I can hear the cry, what about the left-wing bias?

With Radio 2 it should be "what about the 1985 bias?"

They should run it like the NHS!

Pay next to nothing, and people could then show how brilliant they are before going off to the private sector and *THEN* earn millions. And not before.

)or should they?(

They should maybe not sack people because the Daily Mail tells them to.

Who have they sacked?

Sorry, you're quite right, Brand resigned for the lulz.

suspend, then...

Paul Gambaccini, who presents a weekly show on the network, said she'd stood by Russell Brand through thick and thin. He told Radio 5 Live he had warned Douglas about the dangers when she first hired Brand:

"In this profession, we never disparage a colleague - it's an unwritten rule. But when his hire was announced, I sent an email of protest to her, the only one I've ever sent in my entire career.

Oooh get her, scratch her eyes out

Oh right, "she'd stood by..." refers to Douglas not Gambo!

Gambo's a bit of a pompous prig but given that he's doing the US chart show he's playing the hippest music on R2 at the moment. "Whatever You Like" at five to seven on a Saturday evening! Cool!!

The granddaughter of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs has called for Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross to be reinstated.

Georgina Baillie, 23, had initially urged the BBC to fire the presenters after they left a series of obscene messages on her grandfather's answer machine.

However, she has now claimed that the decision by Brand to resign as well as the BBC's suspension of Ross for 12 weeks without pay was "way out of proportion".

"I was really angry when I said I wanted them both to be fired, but I think the suspension was good enough. So I'm feeling a bit gutted really about the whole thing", she tells a Channel Five documentary, Russell & Ross: What the F*** Was All That About, which airs on Wednesday.

And lo, the circle is complete...

The US elects their first black president. We have this.

Only because people keep reviving this thread, no-one else is talking about it.

No.. Channel five could possibly get their lowest ever ratings in the days of either big fuck-on documentary re: Obama, or going out to do the fireworks and that.

Did anyone see it?

(OK, lock thread tonite!)

I have to say Snoball absolutely OTM here.

Did anyone see it?

it was on; i wasn't really watching. it appeared to be slightly tongue-in-cheek and not necessarily as awful as it might have been.

could you call it 'closure'?

Also: Rumour that GB is up for Celeb/Jungle...

It's just wonderful how after Obama's win, all of this just seems to have stopped mattering, not that it ever mattered in the first place.

Radio 2 will go on whoever runs it and whoever broadcasts on it. So will the BBC.

As far as I'm concerned that should be the last word on the matter.

it appeared to be slightly tongue-in-cheek

What? A British TV programme? In 2008? Slightly tongue in cheek?

OMG STOP BUMPING THIS THREAD NO ONE CARES ANY MORE

Just one last disturbing story to report...

.... and that Russell has got that part in the next Pirates of the Carribbean he so desired.

Don't worry folks, the Amy Winehouse stories have started up again, now that the US Elections are over we're back to the issues the British media really care about

I fully back the Ministry of Defence's decision to use Edenbridge, Kent, as a base for advanced nuclear weapons testing.

did russell brand shag sarah palin?

Ask her grandfather

Andrew Collins has been approached to take over from Ross's "Film 2008" gig. The true human cost of this tragedy.

How about getting a film critic to do it?

Well he's already done his best to kill one BBC flagship programme (EastEnders), let's see how far Wry Irreverent Self-Deprecating Andy can tear Film '72 down.

Just one last disturbing story to report...

This village do this every year, which means, polltime!

The Edenbridge Bonfire: Most deserving Guy

Andrew Collins edited Empire magazine, once.

Does that make him a film critic? More than Jonathan R***, I suppose

He's a yes man and he's cheap.

He took over the role full time, then found the next month that Q's Editor resigned, so jumped immediately there.

According to The Sun newspaper, Miss Mason allegedly told a Bristol taxi firm "not to send an Asian driver to pick up her daughter".

The Sun said Miss Mason, 40, told a cab operator: "A guy with a turban on is going to freak her out."

Worker 'outraged'

When her request was refused, she is alleged to have said: "You've managed it before."

The taxi worker was said to be outraged and recorded the conversation, passing a copy to The Sun.

Miss Mason is reported to have called the taxi firm off-air as she played a song on her afternoon show.

A transcript of the conversation, published in The Sun, records how she ordered a taxi to take her 14-year-old from her Clifton house to her grandparents' home.

A BBC spokesman said: "Although Sam Mason's remarks were not made on-air, her comments were completely unacceptable and, for that reason, she has been informed that she will no longer be working for the BBC with immediate effect."

BBCPhonegate continues...

wellity wellity:

He'll probably end up presenting the new TOTP.
