Talk:Victoria Derbyshire

Broadcasting style
I have altered the somewhat fawning original description of her broadcasting style to the following: "Victoria has a rather sensationalist, tabloid-radio style programme, with her 5 Live radio show usually dwelling on the types of stories (immigration, asylum seekers) found on the front pages of newspapers such as The Sun and the Daily Mail." I believe this is a more accurate reflection than the original description of her as "very easy-going" and "fair minded" which I believe to be somewhat misleading. I am, however, happy to debate the point. Guv2006 09:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Can we have some cites to back up the assertions about her broadcasting style? I'm not arging for or against them personally...but it just seems a tad unsubstantiated.

Apparently she's preganant again
Incidentally the coincidence about her being pregnant at the same time as someone else is most uninteresting. 86.16.223.203 09:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Not a very neutral article
"...has a rather sensationalist, tabloid-radio style programme" I am not a fan and have not knowingly listened to her programme, but this quote and others like it in the article are pure opinion, put in the article to lower the reputation of the subject. It does not reflect well on the author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 13 June 2009 To me, parts of this biography sounds like someone blowing their own whistle rather than a encyclopaedia entry.

Talk - where is the reference to Derbyshire "admitting to having an affair". A newspaper may have chosen to report it as "fact", but where is the quote from Derbyshire herself? As I can't find one I'm removing that part.

Leaving 5 Live, July 2014
It appears that she is leaving 5 Live in the near future or has already left.

Her BBC 2 show
I added a citation needed template to the section talking about her show because it says that "The series began airing on 7 April 2015 on BBC Two and will run until the General Election on 7 May 2015." but I can't find any reference at all to it finishing after the election, I'm sure it's going to continue afterwards as all be sources about it keep calling it a'new programme and suggests it'll continue. I don't know what to do though. I don't want to remove it because it's the only bit about her new show. --Seagull123 (talk) 09:12, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Husband
In the factbox, I think 'Partner' should be replaced by 'Husband' as they're married. But when I tried to edit the entry, it just disappeared. Valetude (talk) 17:49, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
