Shame for ITV that it's Eurovision weekend- they must have thought when they initially scheduled the weekend, that the 18:55 start would nick viewers away from Doctor Who starting at 19:00.

Of course, because of eurovision, DW is moved forward to 18:35, meaning that very few people are likely to watch the start on ITV.

Figures will no doubt improve by the time Lithuania's entry comes onto BBC One though!

I would expect that the live concert starts at 7, therefore it gives them 5 mins for an introduction by starting at 6.55

I'm rather surprised this hasn't turned into a 10 Page Thread considering the fact it's been on for the best part of 3 hours now. Though there hasn't been much Concert to it, and there's only been a couple of 3D events, otherwise it's been rather good.

I don't know where the idea of reviving other old gameshows has come from tonight, but it's for a good cause, such as Chantelle vs Stephen Fry on Blankety Blank, guess who won.....Rolling Eyes And Blind Date with conetstants Roger Moore, Richard E.Grant and Chico, with Chico winning a date with Dame Edna, though it looked rather awkward, it was very funny. It's felt more like a Children In Need night tonight, but for ITV it's been very good and some good talent, plus Ben Elton hasn't been too bad either, as he isn't onscreen as much these days.

I saw a bit of this tonight and from what I saw it was entertaining. I loved the Blind Date thing lol

I thought Ant and Dec were hosting it all though, when I saw it it was Kate Thornton and that bloke who presents CLI.

Nope they were only in the Prince's Interview and popped in for a chat about it, otherwise it was Vernon Kay between 6.55pm and 8.00pm, Kate Thornton and Patrick Kielty between 8.00pm and 9.00pm, and Ben Elton from 9.00pm onwards...

I notice Charles Allen managed to get himself sat next to Camilla in the Royal box. Shocked
