Russell Brand And Child Star In Live Sex Broadcasting Storm
THOUSANDS of listeners have complained to the BBC after a ‘live’ radio report for Russell Brand’s A Times & Place programme went disastrously wrong.
UPDATE: JONATHAN Ross and Russell Brand have been suspended by the BBC.
The report was billed as “a candid investigation into the world of the swing”, and featured a visit by childhood TV star Jonathan Ross to a private party in West London.
From the start it was apparent that cash had been taken in liberal quantities, and a debate about social mores and swing parks soon turned into a frank discussion of personal habits.
One man told Brand that he was not qualified to pass judgement on something that he had not himself experienced, and jokingly challenged him to “give it a go”.
Brand Values
This was a clear reference to the infamous occasion on which Brand smoked cannabis and fastened a likeness of the Queen Mother onto a naked shop window mannequin in a similar spirit of inquiry. “Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it,” cried another voice, to general laughter.
To everyone’s surprise, Brand agreed - at which point the BBC sound recordist could be heard to ask if he was serious. ”Yes, absolutely,” replied Brand. There then followed the first sexual act ever to be performed on air in the United Kingdom.
Brand provided a running commentary throughout, although at times he was clearly breathless and struggled to maintain his usual fluency.
”I am now being b******* vigorously by a dark-haired man of medium height,” he announced at one point. “The experience is not wholly unpleasant.” Later he spoke of “an enormous feeling of wellbeing”.
Every Mail
Although the programme was heard by a relatively small audience and is unlikely to be repeated, it has already achieved widespread notoriety, Paul Dacre of the National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association, declared himself “sick and defiled”, and has ordered a tape and a full transcript from the corporation.
Mr Brand’s BBC handlers will meet later this week to discuss his future, and the matter has been referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, although it is unlikely to bring charges.
Brand told journalists yesterday that he had not set out to participate in any sexual activity, but insisted that he had no regrets.
When asked if he intended to continue with his investigations, he replied that he had no plans to do so, and admitted that he couldn’t explain his impulsive behaviour.
“I don’t know what came over me,” he said.

I think they are both boring t**ts with obvious and predictable humour! ….Oh, and Gordon Brown aswell!

Both Brand and Ross are guilty of nothing less than crude mysogyny, running to tell the family member about the woman’s ‘bad’ behaviour; a shame seemingly so bad that they suggest that Sachs might ‘kill himself , yet pride in Brand’s conquest.
And still Ross threatens legal action at any supposed intrusion of his family’s privacy.
Ah but the ‘younger generation’ think it is funny.

russel brand is an arsehole anyway.
take a way his perm and you have left the fat little spotty kid with a squeaky voice that was always getting happy slapped at school.
and they can call ross an interviewer the day he doesn’t say ‘yes, well, i’m a big fan as you know’ to every one of his guests.
for an unpredictable rebel, he sure licks a lot of arse.
i see his apology came out fast enough.
personally i’d rather see paxman interview the likes of bono and the rest of ross’s mates, and ask real questions.

Basically if you see a problem it is because you are getting old I’m afraid
—————-
then you won’t mind if they phone your young daughter up and tell her her dad’s been shagging around either i suppose.

Russell Brand was ill-advised to say the least, to get caught up with Jonathan Ross’ idiotic antics and I never watch Jonathan Ross’ programmes as he is an egotist who doesn’t so much interview people as “talk at” them and use every opportunity to ridicule them and use foul language, or make suggestive remarks and comments which are not even “thinly veiled” . As Grande Finale says, if you don’t like it just turn it off, shut up and leave others to enjoy it - if they can, and want to basically.
Russell Brand I like very much, he may seem as mad as a sack-full of ferrets but reading his book gives an insight into his life, how it shaped him etc and he is, unlike many others, actually a very intelligent guy which is all the more surprising when you saw how he got carried away by Ross who is old enough, and highly-paid enough, to have known better.
Hopefully the BBC will now take a long hard look at the “quality”…(not) of the programmes Jonathan Ross is assocaited with, and retire him from our screens.

I am already old, but Russell Brand would be an obscene pig if I was seven.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Just watchings Andrew Sachs on TV, he said everything has to be excessive NOWADAYS, Fawlty towers was excessive the character he played could have been racism. Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke were offensive on occasions.
It seems to me though that every generation develops (Yawn) another Mary Whitehouse…………….If you don’t like it just turn it off shut up and leave others to enjoy it

June, i agree with you on one level, but on the other there is far more offensive material on, for example, Eastenders which is way before the watershed. Every night there is casual sex and random violence being portrayed as the norn.
RB and JR were stupid and deserve reprimand but the BBC employ them BECAUSE they are unpredictable and go over the line. The BBC itself needs to be held accountable for over-riding Sachs wishes and broadcasting the show……….. (IMO of course!)

C&C
She’s the same mindset ( or lack of it ) as two other (ex) presenters.
I feel if one finds any humour in this, then perhaps they might find humour in stalking and anonymous heavy breathing phone calls.

I give ten out of ten to Andrew Sachs for his graciousness and nought out of ten to the grand-daughter.
and member of Satanic Sluts 
she’ll enjoy her fifteen minutes of fame.
Silly girl has no screwed her own reputation though no doubt as an aspiring model
She doesn’t seem too shy and retiring and easily offended!

What a storm in a teacup.

A Guardian columnist is making a tit of herself.
I think calling Brand a despicable bully and then saying suspending him is excessive - is probably not a good way to win an argument.
October 29th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
All that waiting around to be beaten round the head has taken its toll. They also wait who only stand and serve.
Sorry
October 29th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Poor wee Andrew Sachs - he’s on Sky now - sounding very sweet and looking very confused.
October 29th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Eu!
October 29th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
……well at least Russell Brand wasn’t mouthing off, though in fairness it would be pretty difficult to do that whilst speaking on radio…
October 29th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
There are some very, sad sick people writing on this page…. Is this a sample of what we`re now breeding in this once great country!
Brand and his admirers …on these pages… should dig themselves into a huge pile of pig manure and bury themselves for ever…………………………………………Archi
October 29th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
…she also said that she would never do anything to upset her grandad - bet he’s soooooo proud….
…and she has now admitted that she has shagged Brand in the past - why do these people go mouthing off before landing themselves right in it….?
October 29th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I think it’s supposed to be post-modern irony; that’s usually the excuse given for people who are unable to sing and/or play an instrument…
October 29th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
coolandcalm
I agree.
(I love Russell Brand too - I’ve followed him since he was normal on Big Brother’s Eforum in, er, I think… 2005?????)
Did you hear Georgia say - ‘it’s really sad that this is what entertainment has come to’? She’s in a group called the ‘Satanic Sluts’!!!!!

I’m not keen on JR’s TV prog (so I don’t watch it) but I do like his saturday morning radio prog. And I do secretly (sssshhh) quite like the bad-boy louche personna of RB.
They were both incredibly stooopid however the over-reaction is amazing!
IMO the best thing to do with naughty children is ignore them.
October 29th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
The outrage!
(Am I the only person in the country that likes ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’?)
October 29th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
on the news….. Ross and Brand have both been suspended. …….. (oh and the grand-daughter is on every channel getting all the publicity she can get for her ‘band’ )
Real life bewilders me sometimes so I’m off back to lounge around in fantasyland which is a lot easier!
October 29th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
..the person who should be sacked is the producer responsible for broadcasting the pre-recorded calls when Andrew Sachs had already requested that they be removed from the programme….?
Ross and Brand are highly paid for being unpredictable and slightly “dangerous”, and they are very successful at it.
they didn’t put out the recording - somebody else did and it is that person who should stop hiding behind the BBC’s skirts and take the fall…
