Who’s the annoying twerp standing in for vine? 5 minutes was all I could stand.
He’s everywhere - has stood in for Evans, Mayo, Vine.... He was editor of the Independent and also a critic on Masterchef for some reason. I don’t mind him, actually, and the BBC are obviously trying to get their money’s worth out of him

Surely no one can be more annoying than Jeremy "Has you been affected by the issue of excess junk mail being posted through your letterbox, if so phone now" Vine.suffolk009 said:
Vine's produce Tim Johns has just tweeted the story about the butcher who broke his way out of a freezer using a black pudding.
I expect it will be on tomorrow's show.
"Have you ever broken out of somewhere with the aid of a frozen meat product? If so, give us a call!"I expect it will be on tomorrow's show.
His program is dreadful and way below the general standard of what the BBC produces (even in recent years). It's nothing more than the broadcast version of washer women gossiping over the garden fence.
He pitches two diametrically opposed points of view, let's them wind each other up a bit and then, most annoying of all, cuts them off.
The best ever excerpt of his "show" was when the discussion was about "How would you sum up what's wrong with the UK?"
Cue a tidal wave of calls stating "The Jeremy Vine show".

To his great surprise not one spy phoned in to be on his show.

I haven't listened to the Jeremy Vine show for years. As soon as Ken Bruce finishes i switch my radio over to our local BBC station. I enjoy the content and as I am travelling to work sometimes at that time I can get travel bulletins straight away.
This. I do dip in to the Vine show but normally dip back out very quickly because his topics are such drivel it pushes my blood pressure up! Just listening to the callers comments gets annoying too.I cant stand Chris Evans or any of the others. Bring back Wogan I say! lets get a petition going, oh wait a minute...

Every time I get lumbered with Vine he always seems to repeat what has been discussed on The Wright Stuff earlier that day, his "research" must consist of watching Ch 5 from 10 to 11.59I expect it will be on tomorrow's show.
Simon Mayo is, to my mind, a broadcasting legend. Very, very few people even come close to matching the ability he has to be affable, sincere, witty, insightful, sympathetic, etc - sometimes all in the space of minutes. To give a co-presenter to someone who is so good at what they do strikes me as a giant kick in the balls. I'm aware that he has a co-presenter on his other show - but that is slightly different and the show originated as such.
He deserves to keep his own show, and what's more I don't want some lesser presenter diluting just about the only person on radio who doesn't drive me nuts. I await much blah-ing about Glastonbury and the Live Lounge. Why not let a female presenter have the 36% of Steve Wright's air time that is presently occupied by cheesy jingles from 45 years ago? Why not share Chris Evans's salary between him and Sharleen Spiteri, who may as well be a permanent fixture on his show anyway?
To hear that Simon Mayo's show is getting an extra hour... but with Jo Whiley, is like Ford saying "We're building a RWD, 300bhp, V6, 50mpg... compact convertible SUV styled by SsannggYyonngg!"
