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!

Jonathan Ross is Back!!

So, tonight saw the return of Jonathan Ross to our screens. Although he deserved his ban, hopefully he will still be as irreverent as he was before. He's not everyone's cup of tea, but he does earn his money - a chat show, a radio show and film reviews - its not as though he just does a half-hour show each week!! And then he'll be presenting the BAFTA's next month. No peace for the wicked!
