This will all be forgotten about very quickly. Remember the whole Russell Brand - Jonathan Ross prank calls affair from a while back. Jonathan Ross continued with his shows after a short while, and Russell Brand has presented programmes for the BBC since - and I'm sure they would have him back too.

tbf though the Jonathon Ross/Russell Brand thing was completely different, it was a prank call taken too far not an actual verbal and physical assault on a member of staff

Think I'd rather be on the end of a punch after tempers fray late at night among a few people than be publicly humiliated on national radio by being told about who your grand daughter's been sleeping with. It should be easier to resolve the former in the morning with minimum fuss while Sachs has spoken about how that prank call still affects him and caused a rift in his family

Meh, she's in a band called the satanic sluts, he hardly thought she was a virgin before then tbf Also, I have to say that it was out of order but the editor passed that call to be aired as well so it shouldn't all fall on those two
