This week Jonathan Ross returned to Radio 2 for the first time since his telephonic abuse of Andrew Sachs which believe it or not is 6 years ago now, although Sachs only spoke out earlier this year about the cruelty that apparently continues to haunt him. And this very day as I was filling up the car I noticed an interesting story about his brother, TV's Paul Ross, in today's tabloids.
Now it was good to hear Jonathan on the radio this week. He is interesting and a considerable relief from Steve Wright and the people who claim to love his show.
But it has long struck me that Ross and Russell Brand's apology was spectacularly unconvincing - one of the least heartfelt apologies in history, accompanied by giggles and about two years too late.
So today provides the perfect opportunity for the shoe to be tried on the other foot.
I wonder if Jonathan thinks it would be fair game for Barry (Paul Ross's gay mephadrone-taking dogging partner of the last 12 months who apparently wants to marry him, presumably after a divorce from his wife of 20 odd years) to phone up Mrs Ross (their mutual mother) and tell her he'd fucked her son, recording the call for transmission over the airwaves as a hilarious piece of entertainment.
No?
Thought not.
