Just like to add that the only reason I know anything about Brand is because of the "Sachsgate" affair (Brit ex-pat living in Germany). And yet a search on "Sachs" on this long and extraordinarily rambling Wikipedia entry reveals nothing. Rather an unbalanced article all-round in fact and nowhere near enough NPOV. To reference Rodhullandemu's point above, the Sachsgate affair did lead to a) Ross being banned for 3 months and b) Brand resigning from his BBC show. Ross apparently then quit the BBC over the furore (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8036645/Russell-Brand-mocks-BBC-compliance-form-as-he-is-reunited-with-Jonathan-Ross.html). Not one mention?
