BBC Radio 2 chaos as Jeremy Vine has fire evacuation before segment on cremation

This afternoon, Jeremy Vine’s radio show was forced to resumption for about 15 minutes, which caused chaos on BBC Radio 2.

The broadcaster chose to cancel a segment about cremation after the studio’s evacuation of the Broadcasting House building by Oxford Street in central London. The fire alarm’s impact on BBC Radio 6 Music was also brief.

A voice in the studio reportedly urged staff to “leave the building immediately” in the middle of a conversation with a guest. Before playing music, Jeremy apologised for the inconvenience. Before he returned to explain what had happened, the music lasted for almost 20 minutes.

He stated on the radio: “It’s BBC Radio 2.” Jeremy Vine is present. I apologize because there was only a proper fire alarm present. Even though there was no fire, there was a phenomenon that I hadn’t experienced in 20 years: two lights went off instead.

The red light, which indicates a fire, followed by the studio announcement that appeared to be one, and so on. We exited the building. In the sun, we were standing. No fire exists. We entered again. We will halt the cremation project because there is no fire.

Before continuing with his radio show, he made the joke that the BBC had evacuated us, and we had to take it seriously. “Fans who were listening to the radio show quickly shared their shock as they were forced to leave the studio.”

During The Jeremy Vine Show, a user reported on X/Twitter that a fire alarm sounds at BBC Radio 2 studios. Wow.. Actual dead air live on BBC Radio 2 after being evaluated for the first time in 20 years, according to Jeremy Vine.

One enquisitive fan continued, “@BBCRadio2 streaming music while off-air live.” “Fear not, all is safe, Jeremy Vine said. This is peak Jeremy Vine without notes, another user posted.
