Brand and Ross could face prosecution over obscene phone calls
Camstop:
Gawd i don't believe that!
They both sail a bit close to the rocks on times but that is their appeal. Ross is the best at what he does and can hold his own with anyone and Parki knows he was never as good as him.
Brand has a bad rep but when you actually watch him he can be quite good.
I think the press and middle Britain got their finger up their arse because they are jealous that they are top earners and easy targets.
If i was Andrew Sachs i'd come out and say "ok it wasn't in best taste but the guys have all said sorry and i accept that so leave them alone and it's forgotten about"
OMG shock, horror! imagine our Danger Zone falls into the hands of the press! :o ahhh but were ok jack as you have to be over 18 to get in there, right? ':|

I have got to agree on both points, and yes they can both be irritating but I still think at their best they are good at what they do. OK not everybody's cup of tea.....the Wife cannot stand Ross

possibly a bit of jealousy there, but I don't think that is really the issue, explained in my next comment

I disagree totally, I think it was in bad taste, and to be quite frank I think it was totally crap .... and that comes from a guy who likes Little Britain [for the most part, US series is poor] Green Wing another near the knuckle, or should I say up to the wrist type of humour. Oh and Shameless, more close to the bone humour. But this was targeted at an individual, and when asked by the BBC if he objected to its airing he said he did not want it airing, and was totally ignored.
Brand and Ross got it wrong, but worst of all the BBC got it totally wrong, by allowing its airing against the direct wishes of Sachs

Its not the same thing really

Ok well here's the poor lady in question... Link
--- Quote --- On MySpace Miss Baillie lists her marital status as 'swinger', and includes 'pretty men with tattoos' as among her interests.
She wrote: 'I like to party, I don't care if you call me a 'waster' or even a 'groupie' because I am having more fun than you and living this way makes me happy.'
Miss Baillie has ambitions to follow in her famous grandfather's footsteps into the world of acting, and recently played a prostitute/glamour model in a high profile TV pilot comedy/drama called 'Trollops of Threadneedle Street'.

I'm sure if it did happen then she was fully complying and possibly on the make out of it :-X So if that is the case, are they being condemned for telling the truth? :dunno:
It's a shame for the old guy but i wonder what each of us would be more insulted with. The Ross comments or her "Myspace" site? :crazy:
Tony:
It's not about who he shagged, and yes I saw her on the news today, and it was obvious to me that she was a bit of a ...... :o:
But being a grandfather [no girls three Grandsons] But even not having a Granddaughter, I reckon I can still understand how Andrew Sachs felt insulted. There was no need for it, never should have happened in the first place, and made worse by the BBC allowing its airing.
