Brand is better in stand-up than on TV - in the same way as a stage actor can come across as really hammy on the screen. Ross I just wholeheartedly think is ace. This is the first I knew of them collaborating, so I can't really comment on the chemistry. Certainly I know that they're both performers who wind some people right up, and so I could well understand if office conversation, or even radio reviews, were complaining about it. Maybe even a couple of mentions in year round-ups or Worst Radio Moments clip-shows. But lead news story in papers and websites? Statements from the bleeding Prime Minister? WHAT?
And like I said, they weren't just ringing random D-list celebs and abusing them via voicemail - this was someone who had previously agreed to come on the show, and so knew (or should have known) the sort of puerile humour they deal in. Nor is his granddaughter a shrinking violet whose reputation has been besmirched by their antics. So who's been treated badly here, exactly?
