I find it weird that only 2 people who listened to the show when it actually went out complained about the incident..the numbers now in the 10s of thousands , so surely the majority of the people who have since complained knew they may be offended

I, still, have not listened to the comments! Lethargic thought process, senilty ect. But I miss Ross at the weekend, or I would if I wasn't working every weekend at present. I will just have to be offended somewhat removed from facts, like most others I suspect. A Narrowboat Dweller.

The difficulty lies in the way people access their entertainment these days not having been understood by many of the apologoists for Ross and Brand or even the BBC itself, which seems to think its still in the last century when they could control the news and entertainment agenda and assuming that shows are only seen when first broadcast.
Many people, like myself, often read news items, listen to the radio, see podcasts and watch TV at times that suit me, not the programme schedulers. I presume that, like myself, many people heard about the broadcasts in the blogosphere and then looked round the internet to see what it was all about. I didn't have to find out about this from the Mail or Sun, whatever th BBC might be spinning to try and pretend that the people who complained are right-wing nutters.
When I saw what Brand and Ross had been up to I was appalled, and yes, I did complain.
