And here's the article mentioned above:

'Juvenile' Jonathan Ross waits to hear his fate after BBC bosses end five hour meeting to discuss 'prank' call

The fate of Jonathan Ross hung in the balance tonight after BBC bosses spent the day in emergency session.

As more than 30,000 people complained about the obscene phone call scandal which has rocked the organisation to its core, their top-paid star confessed he could be finished.

But after the BBC Trust spent five hours debating what, if any, action to take it is believed the star will keep his job.

It's an entertaining read. I dare say Bozza is onto something.

Come to think of it, the Grand Daughter does look a bit of a slut...

It's like a forum - too bad the "moderators" didn't pick up on the messages before they approved them - they need to be dealt with rather than them.

I love the way that news anchor grills his boss though.

Just listened to a "proper" interview with Sachs, and it transpires that as the programme was not live, the producer of the show rang Sachs after the recording to ask if it was okay to broadcast it, of which the obvious reply of "no" was made - they rescheduled a proper interview but they broadcast the original anyway.

Fools.

We already knew the programme didnt go out live and it took over a week for the media to start the ball rolling. By all accounts the granddaughter is part of a group called Satan's Sluts.. I seem to recall hearing about them somewhere.. but can't find the correct website.. if it's the one I'm thinking of then they're all goth models who come close to porn photos.

The "moderator" in this case has been dealt with.The Radio 2 controller has been forced to resign, as ultimately she is the boss of Radio 2 and yes the buck stops with her as she is in the position to make sure the editors are doing their jobs correctly.

I think we should all do as Paul O' Grady has suggested is to move on.

Georgina Baillie han't help her case by running to the Sun, I think her comments need to be taken with a pinch of salt, she's using it as an opportunity to further her "career" by dumping all over Russell Brand.

However 2 wrongs don't make a right, she should have been as diplomatic as her grandfather, as it was him that actually received the messages not her.

Georgina Baillie, 23, had initially urged the BBC to fire the presenters after they left a series of obscene messages on her grandfather's answer machine.
However, she has now claimed that the decision by Brand to resign as well as the BBC's suspension of Ross for 12 weeks without pay was "way out of proportion".
"I was really angry when I said I wanted them both to be fired, but I think the suspension was good enough. So I'm feeling a bit gutted really about the whole thing", she tells a Channel Five documentary, Russell & Ross: What the F*** Was All That About, which airs on Wednesday

Think I might look out for that programme....

Anyway, after all the furore now she's saying they shouldn't have been suspended????

Who knows (or cares really). Hopefullly Russell will bounce back.

Did anyone else see the sly comments Clarkson was making on Top Gear about there being "one chatshow less on TV" when he was introducing Parkie?
