How to complain
Ofcom has received 1900 complaints about material on Russell Brand’s BBC Radio 2 show. This featured the presenter – together with guest Jonathan Ross – allegedly leaving a series of messages on the answer phone of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. Ofcom is currently conducting an investigation and will publish the outcome in due course. Ofcom considers each complaint it receives. However, we are unable to respond to each individual complaint.
