Jonathon Ross suspended for 3 months
Jonathan Ross has been suspended from all BBC shows over the Andrew Sachs prank call. He will not be paid for 12 weeks, which will acculmulate in pay of over a £1 million lost. He is expected to return to work in mid january.
This news comes soon after it was announced today that Lesley Douglas, the controller of BBC Radio 2, had resigned. She had been in the job for 5 years, and admitted in her resignation letter that it had been a “painful week” for Radio 2.
“I am proud of what we have achieved together over the years and I shall miss you all,” she wrote in her resignation letter. “The events of the last two weeks happened on my watch. I believe it is right that I take responsibility for what has happened.”
It was Russell Brand’s radio show, and Lesley Douglas was the controller, yet Jonathon Ross seemed to be the instigator in the whole prank call, starting off with yelling, “he f***ed your granddaughter.” Seems he’s got off quite lightly.

MR ROSS, WHAT YOU SAID WAS BAD-AGAIN! YOU DO NOT SEEM TO REALISE THAT EVERY TIME YOU DO BAD YOU DRIP MORE BAD GRAINS ON TO YOUR VERY OWN “SCALES OF MORAL JUSTICE” HELD IN YOUR MORAL ACCOUNT. BUT UNLIKE A BANK ACCOUNT, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW OUR MORAL A/C IS DOING – IS IT GOOD? IS IT BAD? WE ONLY FIND OUT WHEN WE GO DOWN WITH A “Vengeance Is Mine” (V.I.M.) DISEASE, LIKE CANCER OR A HEART ATTACK! BOTH SELF DESTRUCT AREN’T THEY? HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED why MR ROSS? YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT. MY MONEY WOULD BE ON A VERY DEBILITATING HEART ATTACK FOLLOWED BY OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH VERY, VERY PAINFUL ouch! TYPE FATAL CANCER. LAUGH OR JOKE YOUR WAY OUT OF THAT mister ross. TOO LATE! ‘TIS DONE-’TIS WRIT. HELL IS WHERE YOU’RE BOUND. goodBYE
