Revolution on Radio 2’s Vine Show

[Revolution Mike]

So Ben and I had the pleasure of talking about our great hobby on Jeremy Vine’s radio 2 show this afternoon. We’re on from about 1h30 / 1330 until the end of the show: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001nfvk

 

It was great fun and we hope that we put across our enthusiasm for our great hobby!

Cheers Mike

Just happened to be listening when this went out. Thought it all came across really well with a class 59 running in the background, and the way Ben dug Jeremy out of his perceived 'train set' slip at the end....

Hi all,

 

For anyone interested there is a little more information about the show on our news pages here:

Plus it was great to speak to Dan Evason from Tunnel Lane model railways who called in was put through!  I am still optimistic that we will soon be able to add Jeremy Vine to the noble list of celebrity railway modellers...

 

cheers

Did it make you pine for a job back at the Beeb?

Blimey.

Something decent on Jeremy Vine's programme.

Wonders will never cease.😁

You're not wrong - kind of like the spoken word version of the Daily Mail. Shame as go back 10 years and he was worth listening to.

 

Glad to hear he had a decent set of guests though :)

What was the story about the guy that trapped himself in a corner as he built his layout???

Oddly enough precisely the opposite!  It was fun to be back and see some old cronies though!

Don’t knock the Beeb! I go by track record, so I’m instantly suspicious of new starts. In Revolution’s early days I thought, “He’s with the Beeb, he must be OK”. 🤣

Never knew journalist Ben and Revolution Ben were the same person until yesterday!

 

It came across really well on the show.

They did really well. He is very sympathetic to model railways and used more or less the same line previously with me about space & complexity in making a model.
