Personally I felt, after having listened to what was actually left on his answerphone on youtube.com, and reading the BBC's own news article about the affair, that the BBC had to suspend both Ross and, to a lesser extent Brand, for their conduct.
If you listen to the message, it's Ross that blurts out "he f*cked your grand-daughter", which caused me to raise an eyebrow - I was just really surprised not perhaps that he said it as they're both comedians and very little shocks me anyway, but because I'm given to understand that somebody actually approved this message for the general public - I don't know what time it was broadcast like, but I'da thought that using the word "f*ck" on national radio would be considered inappropriate ?? Non ???
In any event, the whole event to me just sounded really quite puerile and childish, and I'm glad they got a rap on the knuckles for it - I think Andrew Sachs has handled it very well to be honest - it's like he says he's not out for anything - he just wanted to get an apology ...
... his grand-daughter is a bit more vitriolic about it I gather ...
