Apple's automated censoring service confuses the 1950s genre for a racial slur, marking song titles with an asterisk An automated censoring service has left iTunes embarrassed after it censored "doo wop" to "doo w*p", confusing consumers, including Radio 2 DJ Jeremy Vine. When Vine mentioned in passing to Ken Bruce on Wednesday that he was surprised to find iTunes had censored...
I've really enjoyed listening to Susan Calman present the MacAulay & Co show this week. She's witty, clever, warm and seems to have a natural talent for radio. I tell you, if I were commissioning programmes on BBC Radio Scotland...

Jeremy Vine's slickly produced Berlin wall account evoked the reality of a divided city and the euphoria when the wall came down Jeremy Vine's enthusiasm for a good story was in evidence last night as he presented The Day the Wall Fell (Radio 2). Vine was in Berlin, and literally hopping with excitement. "If I just hop like that, left and then right," he observed, "my right foot is...
Martin Stepek clearly recalls the moment when he realised he was a bit Polish. It was at a Scotland-Poland international at Hampden. He'd been invited to the match alongside a group of his father's friends and many of them...

Referring to the Afghan "election" for which our boys died and are dying, Jeremy Vine remarked that "Putin was not convincingly elected", either. Tell me, Jeremy, I know you're Hatfield and I know you used to edit Palatinate , but even so, you might know this: was it Putin (not now the President, as you do not appear to know), or was it Saakashvili, who managed a Soviet-style ninety-seven...
Many of my friends laugh at me when I say that Radio 4 is too intellectual for me. And they laugh even more when I confess that I am a Radio 2 addict. I don't care. Even my picky teenagers admit they play some good music--and if I didn't listen to Radio 2 I wouldn't know about the really excellent children's book thing which is currently taking place on the Jeremy Vine show, (and I wouldn't be able...
It just occurred to me that I really don’t give Sir Ian McKellen enough love. I’ve always liked the man - the first time I think I was ever aware of his acting presence was in the 1998 film Gods and Monsters, where Sir Ian played James Whale, the director of the original Frankenstein [...]
Vine asked whether including the word “sex” in a site would help drive traffic to a Birmingham Plumber’s site as lots of people searched for this term. Brittin (obviously) said it wouldn’t help and doubted whether the word was searched for as much as Vine thought, though a pig farmer then phoned in to say that he was a red blooded male and searched for sex a lot. Quite what...
One year ago I embarked on this plan to take a photograph of Inverness from exactly the same spot every month. Well, another November has come around and, as you can see, not much has changed although the weather...

The Story: This is either the best sex scene in horror movie history, or simply the worst first date in horror films. Depends on how deep you want to read it—as allegory or as reality. For the reality, we have this: the child-bride of Dr. Pretorius ( Ernest Thesiger ) and Dr. Henry Frankenstein ( Colin Clive ) is awakened from her lightning birth and immediately rejects her intended, the monster...
