The BBC Puts a Stop to Any More Jonathan Ross Whipping
Filed under: TV News > Anglophilia > Russell Brand
Enough is enough!
Russell Brand's prank-calling partner, UK late night chat host, Jonathan Ross, won't be punished any further for harassing old school Brit actor Andrew Sachs on Brand's former BBC radio show, according to new reports.
Ross has already been suspended from his BBC show without pay for 12 weeks.
The BBC Trust's chairman said on Friday that it was content with the sanction already imposed on Ross.
"We are very clear that the director general (Mark Thompson) has taken the right action with respect to Jonathan Ross and we see nothing new in the evidence that we have received to go further than that," said the chair.
Thank goodness the BBC didn't do any more overreacting!

Re: SheriMoonZombie – No sweetie, it means I turn you into an ATM machine, right Dude?
The reason behind the 'over reaction' is very few people in the Uk actually like Jonathan Ross due to the fact he is not humorous, his smugness and the fact he is ridiclously over paid, he is also incredibly over rated .As there are very few late night/evening chat show hosts in the UK so those hollywood actors etc who need to promote themselves dont really have a choice but to go on his show and by the way justs show the BBC dont care about the publics opinion and it makes you think why bother paying a licence fee of course though i still do!!
I dont find Russell Brand very humorous either but you expect that kind of behaviour from him and he did the right thing resigning.
Agree totally with Lola2103. Ross is way overpaid for very little talent and should have been sacked immediately.
For such a company man, the big surprise is that he put himself in this position. Arrogance perhaps.
Also, believe he expects a huge paypacket for doing any TV charity events.
Greedy man!
Ross is amazing.
Ross is an overpaid ,unfunny moron, with an irritating speech impediment who does not deserve all that money, which could be spent on better dramas.His live radio shows have been taken over by someone else however. Only the pre- recorded ones will now go out after being checked for content .Not that I listen as he plays crap music. and talks utter shiteous rubbish.He is not that popular.Has maybe 2 million regulars and that is IT.He is largely very disliked in UK despite your hype over in USA -you know squat
Well, thank goodness I guess.
This whole thing has blown out of porpotion to rediculous heights.
it was blown out of proportion anyway, the satanic slut just wants to be famous
Over-reacting heh? You american assholes may have no standards but british people WHO PAY TWATTY ROSS' WAGES don't want to hear shit like that.
perez ya fat fuck i work my fucking arse offf all year paying for stuff including my tv licence to pay this fuckin overgrown twat to 12 million dollars a year to harass an old man fuckin annoys me !
Its really a good news……..Am happy for this……
