'Shouldn't be too quick to condemn'

Ofcom says it plans to launch an investigation into Russell Brand's prank telephone calls to actor Andrew Sachs during his Radio 2 show.

The star was called four times by Brand and guest Jonathan Ross on a pre-recorded show broadcast on 18 October.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's World at One, comedian Alexander Armstrong defended them saying people "shouldn't be too quick to condemn them" for comments made "in the heat of the moment" that were not intentional.
