Jeremy Vine Show

The Jeremy Vine Show came to visit Cardiff Students Union this morning.

Distinctly separate small groups of students stood uneasily on the Union steps waiting. When Vine and two producer-types appeared on the other side of the road there were uncertain whispers. They came across and introduced themselves to the leaders of the groups (who had all had their party allegiances correctly guessed by myself). The groups nominated speakers and the producers introduced the idea and what they wanted from the piece. After one false start it went off well, everyone being quite polite and tame at first but things hotted up considerably - the producers literally wafting the flames in a bid to get people to cheer or boo and when a mini-fight broke out they were very pleased.

The show will be on at 12 today but you should be able to go to the site and 'Listen again' with RealPlayer. I'll report on it later when I've had a listen. Some pictures might make their way on to the blog as well.

On what factors did you correctly guess their party allegiances? Just wondered what the tell-tale signs of such things are...

It didn't take much, just numbers and, though I hate to say it, dress. The Tories for instance were an incredibly dapper bunch. Just one of those stereotypes that turned out in this case to be true.
