Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross Suspended from odd BBC

On October 18 Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross got into a lot of trouble with the BBC after they called 78 year-old Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs, and left crude messages. One message said that Russell had intercourse with Sachs’ 23-year-old granddaughter Georgina Baillie. Ross then suggested Sachs might kill himself when he listened to the message.

Aspiring model Miss Baillie, who dances in a burlesque troop called Satanic Sluts, branded the presenters’ behavior "despicable". Baillie also admitted she had slept with Brand. Miss Bailie added that she felt "totally and utterly exposed and betrayed" by the calls.

Since the show was broadcast it received 27,000 complaints. The most disturbing part is that the show had been prerecorded, then aired later.
