Jonathan Ross claims the BBC has become more risk-averse and dull in the wake of his Sachsgate scandal on Radio 2.
The Corporation faced a public backlash after the 2008 incident, when comedian Russell Brand and the TV presenter called the much-loved Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs during Brand’s show and left lewd messages on his answerphone.
