This is not the first time that controversy has dogged Jonathan Ross?s BBC radio broadcasts. <\/p>\n

Photographers may recall that, in 2006, the BBC refuted claims he had suggested Fujifilm no longer made film.<\/p>\n

The BBC?s denial came after Fujifilm’s marketing team despatched a man dressed as a roll of Fujifilm<\/a> to the BBC Radio studios in central London while Ross was live on air.<\/p>\n

Fujifim said that they had wanted to ‘prove him wrong’. <\/p>\n

The giant film mascot ? dubbed ‘Superia Sam’ ? was sent to the Radio 2 offices in Great Portland Street, armed with products including, crucially, a bag of films. <\/p>\n

Fujifilm claimed that Ross had said the company ‘didn’t make film anymore’, during one of his Saturday morning shows.<\/p>\n

However, the Beeb hit back telling us that ‘the producer recalls that Jonathan did mention Fujifilm’ ? but he actually said something along the lines of ‘I wonder if they still do film?’. <\/p>\n

The BBC spokeswoman added: ‘He didn’t make a statement saying “no they don’t?.’<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the BBC presenter was suspended for 12 weeks for comments made in a prank call to actor Andrew Sachs, broadcast on Russell Brand’s Radio 2 show on 18 October.<\/p>\n
