Oh, please God, let it be true. I'd be so much happier paying the TV Tax if I didn't know that £6M a year of it was going just on Ross' salary. Plus what they pay Open Mike - Ross' production company - to make his shows. Plus what they pay Brand to recycle the same jokes he was telling in 2005.

TOTP had very little decent music on it in its last few years of life. TOTP2 is far superior and deserves airtime. Just provided they don't fill it with crap Christmas music, very few festive records are any good and most of them cause me to change channel if I'm listening to the radio when one comes on. (Slade still have the best, and Cliff Richard several of the worst.)

Mine's the one with the humbug in the pocket.

I quote:

"Accordingly, we left hilarious abusive messages on their ansafones suggesting we'd slept with members of their familes. Ho, ho, ho."

OK, Brand and Ross may have left abuse but they never called his granddaughter a prostitute.

TOTP2 is billions of times better than the main show bollocks.

No annoying host, and no modern shite. Merry christmas.

Russell Brand: A useless waste of air, less useful than Paris Hilton's sense of modesty.

was only funny in the St.Trinians film... Ross has never been funny...

The Beeb will need all the air time it needs over christmas no doubt show 6 hours a night of f&*king ballroom dancing oxygen thieves. They'll no doubt also need to keep some airtime free for some shite hosted by Graham Norton, where we get to pick the alien for ET the musical or some other shite. Remember folks, keep dialling those numbers.
