Jeremy Vine

Interview by Elisabeth Mahoney
Monday March 5, 2007
The Guardian

Jeremy Vine joined the BBC in 1987 as a news trainee. He has since worked on a number of flagship news programmes such as Newsnight and The Politics Show, and now presents the recently relaunched Panorama and Radio 2's weekday lunchtime show, which he took over from Jimmy Young in 2003.

Do you agree that Panorama, now reduced to 30 minutes, feels a bit short?

We can't have it all our own way: we have to cut our cloth to fit prime time and if that's the one sacrifice we have to make, it's fine with me. The crucial thing is that bits of the output in prime time need to stay serious, because if it's all entertainment then we've lost the battle to inform people.

You seem to have shaken off your aggressive Newsnight image and become something of a national treasure since going to Radio

Television, and the sort of television that Newsnight is, does tend to be gladiatorial. Radio finds you out because it's more intimate.

Are there different Jeremy Vines for TV and radio?

I was aware when I went into the Newsnight studios that I should limber up, kill a few squirrels and do generally aggressive things before going on air. That's why it's a good programme: when you watch it, you think, bloody hell, something's about to happen. But radio's much more of a conversation.

As a viewer, any guilty pleasures we should know about?

I'm a sucker for the World's Wildest Police Videos. My wife is always stopping me from flicking through the channels when they're on, because she knows I'll stop and watch three of them.

You're going to a desert island and you can only take either a television or a radio. Which is it?

Definitely a radio.

No there was no mention of squirrel massacres on the paper review. She didnt mention the Wogan payments story either.
