When British television host Jonathan Ross returns from his 12-week suspension in January, he will be using less "bad language," Jana Bennett, director of BBC Vision, told Britain's Guardian newspaper. Ross, she indicated, had agreed to cut back on the kind of borderline obscene talk that got him into trouble in the first place when he joined comic Russell Brand on Brand's radio show in a prank telephone call to actor Andrew Sachs. The BBC permits the use of many four-letter words that are forbidden in the U.S. However, Bennett said at the Media Festival in Manchester, "We have actually been pushing back a bit on language. It is possible that some language alienates some audiences unnecessarily."
