Certainly it should never have been broadcast. Also, leaving messages like that on someone else's phone is wrong.

The money that these presenters were being paid is another issue for me. Extortionate salaries like that are obscene and should be discouraged. I've watched the clip on youtube and to me there does not appear (JMO) to have been much preparation, planning or skill (from the two presenters) in what took place to warrant such vast amounts of money. It almost looks as if they just turned up and did anything, said anything from the top of their heads with little thought. There wasn't any entertainment value there for me and I actually have enjoyed some of their work previously. It really is ridiculous that anybody should be paid vast amounts for that.

What happens to other people normally involved in Jonathan Ross's shows like the "4 Poofs and a Piano" during this 3 months suspension? Presumably they are on contracts and will still get paid since it was none of their doing?
