Should these two face prosecution and even banned from the BBC?
If these calls had been to an ethnic it would have been classed racist, and their feet would have not touched the floor.
I know before any wit makes the remark that Manuel is an ethnic (Spanish), it was only the part he played.

Boo - I fail to see the relavence of how Mr Sach's gransdaughter may choose to present herself on the Internet - and the phone call made to her grandfather.
If an adult youg woman wishes to show risque pictures of herself, that is her right, and her business, but how that qualifies the BBC to facilitate verbal assaults on her family is a link I fail to establish.
Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross both have a similar radio style - what comes out their minds comes out of their mouths - in Ross's case, often witty, occasionally OTT. In Brand's case, the ramblings of an adolescent with a personality disorder. Both are an individual taste.
The problem here is, both have wond the other up well past acceptable levels, which is bad enough.
What is unforgiveable, is that Mr Sach's agent specifically asked the BBC not to broadcast the content of the calls, which waas ignored.
The fault likes squarey with two men who are old enough to know better - and BBC exectutives who are answerable to the public who fund them - who should be sacked forthwith.
In conclusion, the notion that this stupidty was in any way amusing is something thatI find beggars belief.
Flip flop - obviously you are not a grandparent - I am, and when and if you are, you perceptions of what is funny might have changed.

A pair of smug, preening, overpaid, infantile, foul-mouthed, talentless, sexually-challenged, embarrassingly-unfunny losers. They're a disgrace to BBC standards, and always have been. Sack the pair of them. And let them take their equally smug, talentless, over-exposed luvvie pal Ricky Gervais with them.
No I most certainly haven't 'got it' as you condescendingly put it brionon.
I found it damn funny.
If I find something funny, I laugh. Don't you?
Am I only expected to laugh at things that don't offend other people? Were that the case, comedy would never have evolved and we'd all be laughing (or more accurately not laughing) at jesters

JRoss has a daughter and am sure would not appreciate same treatment. As for the **** Russel.....he's probably inadequate obviously by his demeanour.
They should both be removed off our screens.....I don't want my licence fee to do to them!
It's not as though we're short of Presenters and the screen is desperate for fresh faces.
