"Openly Christian" ..... is being a Christian on a par with being gay?

Openly, in that he "wears it on his sleeve", so to speak. Most broadcasters in the UK keep their religious views (if any) pretty much to themselves. Jeremy Vine is an exception, which I thought worth mentioning. --Bonalaw 12:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nominated for cleanup

The sources need citing, the tone of voice needs to be cleared up badly and it also needs to be formatted correctly. Thank you. --///Jrothwell ^(talk)/// 14:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The tone of voice needs to be cleared up? In what way? It could use more criticism, but whenever anyone adds any, people from the BBC swoop in and remove it. -- 80.0.97.250 08:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

agree totally with 80.0.097.250 - I've had an edit removed from this "article" with the edit summary saying "removal of untrue material", which was not the case.  :shrug: Vine's show is one of the few on Radio 2 that is guaranteed to make me turn the radio off, so who cares? 86.138.93.218 21:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I finally figured out who Vine reminds me of: Damien Day from Drop the Dead Donkey. He has that same strategy of calculatedly pushing the emotional angle whenever possible, knowing that mawkishness sells. --88.110.217.242 12:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Spot on... My goodness he's annoying, I have to listen to him at work... might have to look for some references on the net to see if it's relevant to add a critisim section.

[edit] Crap References Section

I got rid of the ridiculous grammar note that someone put in the references section. And I wish these anonymous people would stop complaining. If you don't like his show then why are you so concerned by this article? Rupa zero 12:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a huge fan of diphtheria either, but if I see an error on that article then by jiminy I'm gonna change it. -88.109.95.39 12:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Is there really any point in having that picture there? Vine is such a small figure in the photo, you can't really tell what he looks like. -Q4 (talk) 10:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd say it's better than nothing. We could always create another image from this one, by cropping everything but his head and shoulders - the resolution isn't that great, but it's recognisably him. Waggers (talk) 11:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Election coverage

The comment added about his appearance on BBC1 on the night of the council elections has been removed from someone on a BBC IP number. His performance was widely criticised everywhere, I think some mention should be made of this rather than just stating that he has replaced Peter Snow. --jmb (talk) 08:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Removing well-referenced content without discussion or even leaving an edit summary is vandalism, and I've treated it as such. Waggers (talk) 15:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
