Was Russell Brand right to resign and should Jonathan Ross be sacked from the BBC?

Russell Brand and fellow DJ Jonathan Ross left a series of rude messages on Andrew Sachs' (Manuel from Fawlty Towers) answer-machine relating to Sachs' 23-year-old granddaughter. Following Brand's resignation, should Ross get the sack?

Sachs' agent said he was "very upset" after Brand and Ross left lewd phone messages about the actor's granddaughter.

In the first message, Ross suddenly swore and said Russell Brand had slept with 23-year-old Georgina Baillie. He then apologised and said he "got excited".
