Just going back to Welton's post and it struck me that according to him a lot of young people watch the Ross show. Add to that Welton likes Top Gear. Come on you like programmes that are presented by childlike morons and that goes for TG as well.

What is the world coming to when these moronic presenters hold so much sway especially with the young folk according to Welton. I mean they like being led by a bunch of middle aged twerps.

Get a breath of air will you.

Because they are funny, and do a good job of entertaining unlike most other so called entertainers currently on the BBC.

There's so much other stuff for students doing rather than watching TV, so it takes something pretty good to get us all huddled round watching something, and so far TG and Rossy have been the only BBC shows to do this.

As for TG, yes Clarkson can be a bit....outspoken, to say the least. But imo they are three genuine blokes having a laugh, and delivering a quality programme. To call them morons is harsh, they are all intelligent, just enjoy the odd bit of larking around. They're not role models to me in any way, but I love the programme because it entertains me more than any other. Don't really see a problem but there we go! :)
 
The controller who allowed the programme to air has resigned.

And Ross has been suspended for 12 weeks without pay !

At least the utter tw@t won't be on over christmas :)

I agree on Clarkson. Although I hate cars, and all that speed-stuff, the guy seems pretty human and even though he constantly says daft stuff, he means well. At least that's my opinion on him. I heard an interview with him on radio 4 once, and he came across as a really nice bloke. The difference with Ross, to me, is pronounced. Clarkson doen't look for cheap laughs, to purposely belittle people or to offend. He does that merely by being true to who he is. Ross, on the other hand, appears as more coniving. He's a bright bloke, but not a nice man in my opinion.
 

Brand challenged to wrestling match :

Taken from the XWA website:

Alex Shane challenges Russell Brand!
Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:22
'The Showstealer' Alex Shane has challenged disgraced comedian Russell Brand to a wrestling match in an article in today's Daily Star.

The former two-time British Heavyweight Champion wants five minutes in the ring with Brand, who was forced to resign from the BBC following offensive remarks made on his Radio 2 show.

This is because Georgina Baillie, the grand-daughter of Fawlty Towers comic Andrew Sachs who is at the centre of the Russell Brand-Jonathan Ross controversy, is Alex's ex-girlfriend.

19-stone Shane told The Star (the article is on Page 5 and on The Daily Mail website) that he is furious with Brand for "dirtying" the name of his ex - with whom he remains friends - during messages left on Mr Sachs' answering machine which were broadcast on Brand's radio show.

The broadcast received over 30,000 complaints to OFCOM and the resulting furore has even caused the intervention of the Prime Minister.

"I think Brand is used to getting away with these things," said Alex.

"There is something about Russell Brand that makes most people want to smack him in the mouth. He needs to be taught some humility.

"(Georgina) is a really nice person. This would have upset her a great deal."

Alex later said in an interview on Dropkick Radio that should Brand accept his challenge, all the money generated could go to charity which would go some way towards rehabilitating the comedian's soiled reputation.

It wouldnt have displeased her, its probably got her wikipedia page viewed about a million times in the past week. Her grand father is probably more concerned about the many pictures of her posted in the newspapers such as the one below - rather than the prank call.
