Well said Amanda, I mean they're not even cute are they, the photo's of them on BBC news were just like your description, a couple of windbags.

Well I'm glad that they have both been suspended.....I hope the outcome of the investigation isn't some "back ground " person being used as a scapegoat.

I've thought Jonathan Ross has turned into a pompous windbag over the years and find listening to his droning on about himself on the radio,intolerable............as for the other twerp , I won't miss him at all if he never appears on tv again.

but wasnt it RBs programme how could JR fire him.

Dont like either of them and dont listen to RB radio show and JR is only on the car radio at weekend if I am out usually turn it off and put tape on.

Unfortunately I think the only person who is going to be hung out for this fiasco is the 25 year old producer.

Who from what I've read was in a no win situation. He risked being fired by JR if he didn't broadcast and now as the producer people are saying he should lose his job.

BBC are soooo sorry, not sorry about all the publicity, what is that saying, " there is no such thing as bad publicity"

Do you know that JR sells his Tv shows to BBC.? When I went round BBC in the summer they said that JR and Paul O`grady rent a studio from beeb and then sell them back -JR to BBC and Paul to Channel 4
