I listend to Jeremy Vine for the first time this week - is he dreadful or is it just me???

My partner says he is a well respected but I can just not believe that, his show was like a mixture of daytime tv trash and the Daily Mail. He is partonising, arrogant, pushy, sensationalist, narrow-minded, and really quite crap. if he is trying to be a hard hitting journalist, and winding people up intentionally then it falls flat on its face, Paxman has little to worry about - I expect this is how he is trying to come across but fails miserable, it's like he tried and missed by a long mark and it's so transparent. Is it just me, I cannot explain how irritating this show was, I won't be listening again that's for sure.

it's not just you, I've had this conversation with a few people, how on EARTH did he get this show on Radio 2?? He should be doing a 'Kilroy' type trashy daytime thing on TV. I agree he irritates the heck out of me the right wing pompous arrogant so and so.
Reply:Yes he is very Daily Mail, but maybe he is just playing this role to satisfy all the moaning old whinging right wingers out there. personally I can't stand his show, I have had the misfortune to come across it a couple of times and now I stay well clear. It's worrying that it is so popular though.
Reply:It's definitely not just you! I have listened once or twice, and it makes me cringe. I too fail to see how anybody could listen to this with half a brain. dumbing down yet again I guess.

Reply:I can't bear him either, I mean I really can't listen to him without it spoiling my day, if I happen to come across his show in the car I have to turn it off or I would be sure to smash into somebody.

Reply:It's just you - don't listen again!



For the record - I don't listen (I'm a Radio 1 man til 10am and then it's radio 4 all day) but lots of folk do - they must, otherwise the show would get axed!
Reply:You are absolutely right I think. I have to turn him off when he comes on the radio, I can't bear his smarmy, patronising attitude. He is just so smug, and his voice......... aaarrgh.
Reply:listen to radio 2 all the time but turn off Jeremy Vine
