Now that Jeremy Vine seems to take every TV/Radio programme that becomes vacant, are we to expect him to take over from David Dimbleby now that he is leaving Question Time? To my mind he has ruined 'Eggheads' with his inane remarks. I find it hard to believe that he is Tim Vine's brother!

Please, no!shock

I sometimes listen to his Radio 2 mid day programme and to be honest there have been times when I have truly believed he has lost the plot with some of the idiotic things he says

I'm hoping it will be the other Jeremy who takes over from David Dimbleby..... Jeremy Paxman.

OOps............for a moment I though Jeremy Kyle would be chosen........and I was ready to run for the hills!!

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Jun-18 11:42:40

I am getting confused with all these Jeremies

petra Mon 18-Jun-18 11:54:01

I can't stand the man ?
If I'm home I sometimes have to listen to his inane/ ignorant/ biased twaddle. Aepgirl how true he has ruined eggheads his ignorance of some of the questions is mind blowing. And now, he is taking over from Mathew Wright!!!
The reason I 'have' to listen to him at home is because we have done a deal between Radio 4 and 2 ?
I get so angry with him when watching eggheads that OH will often say: oy oy, calm down grin

Kirsty Young has been mentioned. I think she would be very good.

Greyduster Mon 18-Jun-18 11:57:25

He’s leaving QT to take up reporting. Really, don’t these people ever know when to give up? As for his replacement, a woman would make a refreshing change. Mischal Hussein?

Greyduster Mon 18-Jun-18 11:58:16

Yes, or Kirsty Young. ??

Mapleleaf Mon 18-Jun-18 12:00:25

I’m afraid Jeremy Vine is not one of my favourites.

Parsley3 Mon 18-Jun-18 14:10:29

My vote is for Kirsty Wark. Andrew Neil anyone?

lemongrove Mon 18-Jun-18 14:12:59

As long as it’s not Jeremy Corbyn! grin

lemongrove Mon 18-Jun-18 14:14:11

My vote would be for Victoria Derbyshire.
I may even start watching the programme again.

Bellanonna Mon 18-Jun-18 14:24:22

Oh no, I’ve just seen he’s taking over from Matthew Wright. Bad news. Please, not Jeremy Paxman for QT. Too aggressive.

lemongrove Mon 18-Jun-18 14:25:55

Corbyn is taking over from Wright Bella ? ??

LadyGracie Mon 18-Jun-18 14:38:59

It would be refreshing if they could find a person who is totally unbiased, or who could come across that way. No one mentioned so far appeals to me. I agree Jeremy Vine has ruined Eggheads, with his non stop drivel!

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Jun-18 19:38:29

What about Richard Osman?

At least he would have all the answers, and, quite honestly, sometimes the programme seems pointless.

maryeliza54 Mon 18-Jun-18 19:51:12

I worked for 10 years with Jeremy Vine’s dad. But I never met Jeremy. I don’t think Guy is on GN.

petra Mon 18-Jun-18 20:52:36

Ooh yes, jalima Richard Osman, lovely man. I think you've cracked it grin

Iam64 Mon 18-Jun-18 21:06:20

Kirsty or Victoria Derbyshire for me.
Not under any circumstances Jeremy Vine. He is extremely rude and insensitive to many of the people who phone his radio 2 mid day programme. He's also not bright enough imo to chair Question Time. His attempts to encourage polarised discussions between callers to the JV show are an embarrassment and even worse, I don't believe he cares.
I was never a fan of Venessa Feltz but when she covers the JV show, it's a much more interesting and enjoyable listen. She is good at getting the best out of people and unlike JV, doesn't patronise or humiliate callers.

OldMeg Mon 18-Jun-18 21:41:54

Richard Osman would have my vote too.

Deedaa Mon 18-Jun-18 21:51:04

I could almost put up with his stupid questions and comments on Eggheads if he he didn't try so hard to make it"exciting". Why can't we just have the questions?

Bellanonna Mon 18-Jun-18 22:10:52

Oh, thanks for that Lemon ?. How reassuring!

gillybob Mon 18-Jun-18 22:15:02

Totally agree with you Iam64 I don’t listen to JV any more as he’s far too patronising for my liking. I agree Vanessa Feltz is far better in that slot than he is.
