the show was pre recorded, as such in my view, the performers/dj have no responsibility for the offence caused by the broadcast. this was caused by the inexplicable dissension to broadcast the show, after editorial review, (it must be remembered that of those who actually heard the show, only two took offence at the time. plus presumably Sachs.) and the purely profit driven story in the mail, rag.( 10,000 complained about the show, after this and other media coverage).
so who really caused the offence?
to me the main culprit is the waste of paper called the Mail, and the grubby little worm of a reporter who wrote the story, followed by the rest of the media coverage. with the BBC editors sharing a big part too. 5000 times more complaints were caused by people seeing it after the media coverage, than the show itself caused. where else should the blame go?
incidentally, i think all the complaints made since the media coverage, should be binned. these people chose to visit youtube, fully knowing the content was, well not nice, so their views are of no consequence.
the responsibility for the broadcast, as it was recorded, rests firmly with the producer/editor. quite simply the show should not have been aired.
Brand and Ross should bare the blame for the initial offence to Sachs and his granddaughter.
but the mail spread this offence further, making them even more culpable.
