Sachs 'not surprised' at suspensions

British actor Andrew Sachs today said he was “not surprised” Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand had been suspended by the BBC over their prank calls to him.

And he confirmed he was not planning to take the matter up with the police.

He said the pair had got it “badly wrong” and made a “poor team”, but he was not seeking revenge.

Mr Sachs was speaking on his return to his home in Kilburn, north London, just hours after it became known that the pair have been suspended.

Asked his reaction to the news, he said: “I’m not surprised.”

Asked if he was going to take the matter up with the police, he said: “I’m not going to take it anywhere, I’m not out for revenge.”
