The 50th Eurovision Song Contest

UK - 5 Points!

Total: 18 points!

LOL! Trust Ukraine to muck up the voting when the contest is being held in their own country!

200 points for Greece - is this a record?

Must say I was surprised to see Cheryl Baker giving our results out - but she was involved with Bucks Fizz (she gave some terrible puns too!) so why not... whereabouts was the backdrop though - I didn't see it properly.

Indeed there's always one. Best was on the Junior Eurovision when they barked at this little girl to start again, she was almost in tears!

Terry's gone quiet.

Terry's got a pint there... wonder what the rest of Europe is trying to say to the four main contributors?

Looks like we'll overrun by at least 5 minutes.

There was a comment waiting to be made about the Sarajevo studio being on fire I thought...

* Wipes a tear from the eye *

After so many close attempts, I'm so happy to see my spiritual home WIN! (And I hope it doesn't bankrupt ERT!)

Wonder how the result would have been affected if only the 24 performing countries voted. Greece would have won by even more as it was alot closer up to then!

They should do something similar to what BB Africa did, have the participating countries vote individually then combine the votes of the other countries to create a 25th vote.


Also, Terry makes the point about Germany, France, UK and Spain finishing in the last 4 - but what about Italy. Do they have no involvement with Eurovision?

Speaking of over-running (although off topic) I've been at work this evening. How did BBC1 handle their schedule following the FA Cup over running. I see ITV moved the News forward after the Star Wars Film.

Amazing! Within seconds - ert.gr announces Greece is number one in Europe!

If it was ITV, expect to see the result on Wednesday...

Paddy O'Connell and the broken arena door at the start of the BBC3 show just now has to be the funniest thing I have seen all year...
