Andrew Sachs Thanks Ross and Brand

It's a funny old world! Some months ago Andrew Sachs was the 'victim' of a phone prank by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross that resulted in Brand's resignation, Ross being suspended for 3 months and the BBC fined £150,000. Now it appears that it has boosted Andrew Sachs' career. Not since the days of "Fawlty Towers" has he been so busy, he's even due to appear in "Coronation Street" soon!
