Re: The Russell Brand show

Just how many of the 18,000 people that complained to the BBC over the Andrew Sachs phonecalls actually listened to the show.

I`m guessing very few, I`m guessing maybe 1000 complaints were made and then the "brandwagon" (hope you like what i`ve done there) daily mail readers jumped on the case after the incident was reported in the paper and made up the other 17,000.
