Subject: RE: BS: Jonathon Woss off air!
From what I've read the two presenters were relying on the editing process. However, I would have expected them to be responsible in what they were doing and saying and not just do it and then rely on somebody else to sort it all out. Usually, the more money people are paid the more responsible they are expected to be; surely that is part of what they are being paid for.

It was wrong what they did and it gave the wrong message to anybody else who may be thinking of making prank phone calls.

Russell Brand at least had the good grace to resign. Jonathan Ross has since been taking part in the charity Apprentice programme whilst he is suspended. This has been allowed because it will go out after the suspension period is over. I'm glad that he is doing work for charity but I don't agree that he should do it whilst suspended if it is for a BBC programme.
