Russel Brand

[InsaneApache]

If someone said things like that about my grandaughter on the radio I'd punch his fecking lights out.

I've listened to the show and it wasn't even funny. Sad to say that pillocks like me have to pay the licence fee or go to gaol. I resent paying for these couple of dickheads. I used to like Ross back in the days of saturday night live but he's not really developed his comedy on from swearing and taking the piss.

Typical of the politicos to get involved, the motto seems to be never let a bandwagon roll by without cadching a lift.

BRAND = KNOB


I thought he was a shirtlifter any way!

Because of the way he looks and dresses?


Anyway, say goodbye to your ratings BBC. I've got a feeling Brand's radio show won't actually return.

Chris Moyles gets 4 times the listeners Brand gets.

Wogan gets even more.

Doubt the BBC care much about Brands listeners on the grand scale of things.

Listeners= downloaders of podcasts too. Brand is always in the top 3 on the I-tunes chart.

And is it any suprise Moyles and Wogan get more 'live' listeners given when they are on, compared to saturday nights?

You can't deny Ross pulls in Friday night T.V ratings though can you?

You might not enjoy Russell Brand (or Ross for that matter) but I and loads of other people do. I don't enjoy Strictly Come Dancing but I won't post a diatribe about how my licence fee pays for it.

The Russell Brand Show is now from his own company "Vanity Projects" so I rather hope they don't go back to the BBC and offer it to someone else, there'd be loads of takers. The world has gone nuts, it really has. I *still* don't understand why this is "news" or why its on "This Morning" right now...

Firdya night prime time slot on the most accessible channel in the country? You could probably put international mixed doubles paint drying on and still get a reasonable market share.

Of course, there's always the "don't watch it" option. One I adopt at any mention of Jonathan Ross. Can't stand the man.

No no Tango, afraid not.

If you hate someone you HAVE to watch or listen to them, how else would people have anything to complain about?

Honestly, you'd think it was a difficult mathematical equation but it isn't :

Don't like something = Don't watch or listen to it.

I don't like Stricly Come Dancing, Big Brother, any reality TV...guess what? I DON'T F**KING WATCH IT!

seriously, the furore over the Brand/Ross thing beggars belief.

I don't like sky, I don't pay for it.

The BBC is a different kettle of fish - we're all effectively shareholders in it.

How dare you post REAL news that doesn't involve a celebrity?

So you like everything else the BBC produces and airs then?

I'm sorry, I don't see "I pay a licence fee" as a valid point in this case because there are OODLES of content the BBC make funded by my money that I don't like, so I don't watch it...I just watch the stuff I *do* like.

If you don't like Russell's Radio 2 show there are plenty of other stations from the BBC to listen to, it's only on for 2 hours, I'm sure people could tune to an alternative BBC station for those two hours couldn't they?

I thought the reason he is paid so much is because he'd secured such dominance over C4 and ITV that they both offered mega bucks to sign him up in 2006?

FD- in total agreement with you mate. Sadly I think this will be the end of the radio show, don't think Russell will take it commercial. Gah, wouldn't have happened had Matt Morgan been around.

[Lord Kangana]

When I'm bound by law to pay for something, I expect myself and everyone else who does likewise to have a say. Thats whats happening, and its fantastically democratic.

So very very true Dax.

What a load of bollocks LK. Democratic or not, it isn't the majority that are winning here, it's the minority, the people who've complained that have won. Are the fans of the show supposed to get their way now because they are the majority? Because I'm in a (clearly) minority that doesn't like Stricly, should it get stricken from the air?

It's only democtratic is its FAIR and this has been an over-reactive witch hunt from the beginning, over hyped and promoted by c**ts like the Daily Mail to remove someone they don't agree with or who isn't socially acceptable to their disgustingly blinkered views.

All the more reason to abolish the TV tax. Make it pay per view then I'll have more beer money.

No cause he sounds like a big girl!!!

As for his dress sense we'd kick the so and so out of our shop door way to scruffy!

Have you exercised your democratic right to demand their reinstatement?

Ermm most radio shows don't get 18,000 complaints.

More people don't listen to it than do.

If we had a vote I'm betting the "Sack Brand and Ross" option would win. I'd be happy for it to go to a public vote although it would be a waste of everyones time and efforts.

The mere fact that Brand has tried to justify his actions on the basis of "being funny" irks me as well. Some people find happy slapping funny, some would find child abuse "funny", some find race hate "funny", doesn't make them right or acceptable to the masses though does it?

[FD]

I don't think of "demanding" things as very democratic LK...
