London, January 24 : Andrew Sachs and his wife Melody have revealed how the radio-prank sex call by RJ Russell Brand and DJ Jonathan Ross has affected their relationship with their granddaughter.
The ‘Fawlty Towers’ actor had received four messages on his home phone from the duo claiming the former had slept with his granddaughter Georgina Baillie.
London, Nov 9 : BBC was forced to change an apology to Andrew Sachs over the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand scandal after the actor complained that it was not directly referring to his wife and daughter.
The apology, which was broadcasted on Radio 2, had to be reworded by the Corporation after 78-year-old Sachs complained saying that the two had been deeply hurt by the affair.
Sachs telephoned the BBC after listening to the first of two planned broadcasts of the statement and asked for the second apology to be changed.
“Mr Sachs asked us to specifically include mention of his wife and family in the second broadcast apology at 9.03 pm and we were happy to do this,” the Telegraph quoted a BBC spokeswoman as saying.
