Its all gone bonkers! Yes, the went too far and it was like listening to two kids with the giggles at assembly but people are all so righteous about it like it was all pre-planned and that they thought about the consequences and thought they'd do it anyway.
None of it was planned, Sachs was supposed to pick up the phone. Brand was put on the spot and had to cover. He made the wrong choice (obviously annoyed about Sachs unprofessionalism) but at the spare of the moment. The BBC are always after cutting-edge talent, well that what happens with cutting edge - you occasionally get scratched.
The person who should of got sacked was the quality controller who's job is to know what's suitable and what's not and who had time to evaluate what Brand & Ross did. He still let it through. I'm sure there is a lot worse things said on these shows that get cut out by these people so do these perpetrators get suspended too? No. So Brand & Ross got suspended because someone else didn't do their job. If this didn't go public there would have been no public complaints and no suspension - double standards!
