Always a delight to hear these stories of those who were not in the forefront of attention. Everyone did their bit and i am ever gratefull to those that did so much. It’s true it was their time and they resolved to combat the problems of the day, but you still have to feel pride and respect for what they did and didn’t require mass adulation for doing it.

Very disturbing film didn’t end the way i would have liked ,but more worrying the ‘villians’ of the piece seem very realistic,and it’s set in the good o’l UK Worth a watch

Told ya hear we go:);):D

Quite agree if you don’t like it turn over and leave Sir Clarkson[who should be prime minister;) alone]:D.

cue all the arguments about if you were a truckdriver/prossie wouldn’t you be offended……….umm no:diablo:

Well done Lewis richly deserved.
Glad Massa won the race even gladder Lewis won the WDC :D:D:D

Well I agree with a lot of what you say, but how is it jumping on the bandwagon, how can people be expected to judge the episode before they have heard it, as for just turning off, do you think these people should have carte blanche to do whatever they want on the basis that people can just turn off if they want to?

Obviously no one can make a judgement before they have heard the broadcast,but what concerns me is how many of those complaining after the newspaper report are offended by the ‘prank call’ itself or merly thinking oh great i can join in because i hate RB/JR.
If i see/hear something i dont like i complain then and there i don’t join in with a complaint on something i didn’t witness a week later because of something i read in a newspaper, even if it is about someone i don’t like.
Let me be clear i like RB/JR ,i think they are funny guy’s. I also think that this ‘prank call’ got out of hand and shouldn’t have been broadcast.I can imagine there is a great deal of so called offensive material on the BBC that hasn’t been approved for transmission and it is a shame that this one wasn’t stopped by someone [legal dept at least] but i think the resultant outcry is greater than is necessary for what happened.
From what i have seen and heard from Mr Sachs recently I would think that a sincere apology from RB/JR would have sufficed him. His grand daughter i fear has another agenda.
I like the comedic stylings of messers RB/JR but i think even if i and 10.000 others complained to the BBC about their over the top treatment they still wouldn’t be allowed back on air.
As i said it smacks of a witch hunt.
Now even as i write this i relise that i too have given this subject more attention than it really deserves so i shall now bow out of this debate for good.:);):D

Just to clarify, you think that as people didn’t hear the broadcast as it went out, then they should not find leaving offensive messages on an elderly man’s answer phone offensive, or do you feel that leaving lewd and insulting messages about peoples grandchildren is a legitimate form of entertainment?

What i think is that it was a joke that went to far, just as the backlash has done.As i said if Mr Sachs and his grand daughter want to be offended that is their perogative but anyone else would be better off not listing to the broadcast in the first place ie: use their ultimate choice turn the radio over/off.Anyone who listens to or watches RB/JR will know how close to the edge of humour,stupidity and crasness they can get. It’s the jumping on the bandwagon of outrage after the fact that seems IMHO to be ………..SHEEPLIKE!
And again IMHO the grandaughter seems to be exploiting all the publicity from her liason with RB she can. Judging by what i have seen of her career she needs all the help she can get.I just think it is more about a witch hunt against RB/JR than it is about offending an old man and his grand daughter.
