The 2021 allocation draw will not take place. As the same countries are participating the 2020 draw will be carried forward

I wonder if Graham quitting Radio 2 for Virgin Radio might impact on his future Eurovision duties. Yes, of course he's still got his chat show but the Eurovision gig has long been intertwined with Radio 2.

You'd think as Graham has affection for the ESC that one of the first things to be placed 'on the table' before any deal on pay/amount of programmes per year were discussed would be 'Mr Norton will not be presenting any programmes on the Eurovision Song Contest weekend'

If Graham Norton does move on, or is moved on, I really hope the BBC take the opportunity to reflect on their presentation and decide to 'play it straight' at last.

He has already declared that he will be remaining on Eurovision.
DE88, bilky asko and tightrope78 gave kudos

I canโ€™t think of anything worse.

Who would like to see on commentary duties? Huw Edwards?

Maybe not Huw, but Jane Hill would be a good choice.

I know my views on this are not welcome by some here, but I still believe that it'd be the best thing the BBC could do for the UK's chances and reputation. Anyway we'll move on as we've done previously when I've stirred this hornets nest here.

I think Eurovision really is missing that state funeral vibe.

I think Graham has far more respect for what the contest has become than Wogan ever did and generally laughs with rather than at it.

How about having Ken Bruce on both BBC One and Radio 2? I've put on Radio 2 commentary instead since Wogan left.
