Updated on 09 November 2008

The BBC has been forced to change the wording of an apology broadcast on Radio 2 after Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs complained.

The under-fire broadcaster planned to run on two occasions an apology for a "grossly offensive" phone call made by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross on the station.

It was first aired just after 10am on Saturday when Ross, who has been suspended without pay for three months for the prank, would normally be hosting his weekly show.
