Meet Jeremy Vine: Agony Uncle, the solver of every celebrity’s problems
As part of Radio 2’s Funny Fortnight season - an exciting selection of one-off comedy programmes available to listen to now - Jeremy Vine: Agony Uncle sees the beloved lunchtime radio legend (played by impressionist Lewis MacLeod) cast as the go-to guy for celebrities and their everyday problems.
Whenever he goes off air, Jeremy’s phone buzzes, and the likes of Adele and David Attenborough seek his advice. If Meghan Markle’s worrying about the big royal wedding arrangements, who does she call? Jeremy, of course.
Let’s take a look at some of Jeremy’s wisest words of advice…
He can sort Claudia Winkleman’s fringe emergency
There’s having a bad hair day, and then there’s this. Luckily Jeremy was on hand to help.
Can he help a national treasure, who's fallen victim to the paparazzi?
David Attenborough calls Jeremy Vine: Agony Uncle
Can Jeremy help David get out of a rather sticky situation?
He tries his best at aiding Adele’s addiction to puns
Everyone loves a cheeky “hello, it’s me” joke when they introduce themselves. Turns out, nobody enjoys it more than Adele herself, so much so that Jeremy simply couldn’t help with her, in this case.
But if there’s one thing he can’t stand, it’s imposters
Unlucky, Lewis MacLeod - it was good while it lasted...
