Jonathan Ross Telethon: BBC Talent Donates Salary To Good Causes
NEWS that Jonathan Ross is to forgo £1.5milion pay is good news for Spanish waiters, and great news for the economy as a whole.
Ross, a BBC employee and civil servant, realised the state of the Government coffers and offered to self-tax.
Ross knew that Gordon Brown would not fail to be turned on by his celebrity debate. Brown duly calls for Ross’s head. Ross has to go. And Melton Mowbray gets a new community centre.
Bravo for Jonathan Ross, who is rightly lauded on every one of the nation’s front pages.
More like him, says Anorak.
If they had one shred of decency about them, other BBC staffers would follow his lead.
Come on, Paxman, can’t you call Mandelson a “noofter”; step up to the Mark, John Humphreys and masturbate live on Today; how about some crude gags and penis shots, Lucas and Walliams, Big Britain needs you. Even loud mouth comic Russell Brand has donated £200,000!
The Sun adds up Ross’s gift to the nation as “£1.5m”. The Star makes it “at least “£2milllion”. The Mail makes it just “£1.4m”.
The Mirror says Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas has resigned, although the paper fail to proved details of her wages.
But, still, every little helps and the First Basildon cub-scouts will enjoy their new wigwam…

Jonathon Ross’s autobiography is on the shelves in hardback as we speak (and selling well), paperback for te summer hols market!
Russell Brand’s ‘My Booky Wook’ was a best seller and award winner last christmas and again in the summer.
neither ever needs to work again but I’m sure they both will, very soon!

Wogan’s trouser problem caused a stir maybe last year….. This is a still from Points Of View!! aarrgghh.

that image of Wogan caused a bit of a stir when it first came out (on Points of View, I think?) earlier this year - the blue rinses got all excited, I don’t think they thought he had it in him (if you’ll pardon the expression)…

This is the famous ‘Budgie’s Head’ photo of Wogan. I am surprised it has not reared its ugly head before
November 2nd, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Hi Sammy J,
Yes, I spotted that too.I think Wogan must put a banana down his strides and bought that jacket and tie from a one pound charity shop. Take that “cat” of his head too, and then you’d see the “real “Terry…..aaaagghhhhhh

Anyone remember the TV host Simon Dee who was a regular on the box in the 60s until it seems he upset someone with power and lost the show and everything. At one point, he later ended up working on the buses when his life took a riches to rags dive.
These multi-million pound contracts are way over- the -top in my opinion.They are described as “the going rate” but Ross and Brand aren’t major superstars. They are more a sign of how few people there are available with any skill or natural talent. Ross when speaking the English language sounds like he has 20 goldfish swimming around in his mouth.More like money for old rope. With all the problems in the UK, its a real joke that Ross and Brand have been in the headlines every day. I don’t rated either very highly, but I’m sure their bank managers do!

No one, not anyone, is worth a salary of £ 6m.
I hope that this will cause some serious rethinking in the BBC, just as the disasters in the worlds bank will cause them to re-think their ridiculous bonus schemes.

I’m not a Brand fan but at least he had the balls to resign. The blame falls fair and square with Ross and his foul motor mouth. He’s under the impression that every utterance of his is hilarious, not so. As for cutting edge, I don’t think so. At least we’ll have a Ross-free Xmas this year so at least the BBC will be getting something right.

I really like Jonathan he is witty and funny but I think he went too far and behaved like a child Not nice for people involved

I love Jonathan Ross and I cannot wait for him to return to my TV!
I am going to have to overdose on my cipramil and dothiepin tonight - because he is not on the telly!
Andrew Sachs! Get a grip on yourself man!
It’s nobody’s fault that Connie Booth, John Cleese and Prunella Scales have had fabulous careers whereas yours went fucking nowhere!
Sour grapes? Achance to get your name in the limelight again?
You are too old to be this ridiculous. Grow up!
