BBC boss on Russell Brand’s Radio 2 exit: ‘We’re always going to have questions’

PA Wire

BBC director general Tim Davie said a “rigorous piece of work” was conducted when Russell Brand left BBC Radio 2 but wonders if more could have been done.

Mr Davie was the corporation’s director of audio when Brand left his Radio 2 show in 2008 after he and guest Jonathan Ross left a “lewd” voicemail for Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs – who died in 2016 – about his granddaughter.
