Good luck!

Who knew pizza was that old? 🤔

Diolch, Flip!

Well hearing "Let It Swing" being sung in the Rovers Return tonight was not on my bingo card, and a nice nod to it's 40 year anniversary. 😄

I heard one of my neighbours ask that question a little while ago. I'll send him that graphic!

Sad news. Reading "A Boy's Own Story" was a life changing experience for me in my youth. Rest easy Edmund and Thank You.

To be fair, the UK got 10s from Ukraine and Czechia so a 12 from somewhere wasn't really too hard to believe. Now Scooch's 12 from Malta, that WAS quite something.😀

Rather mixed #Eurovision showing in the new UK chart compared to some recent years:

UK 31
Germany 34
Estonia 40
Sweden 48
Austria 53

JJ lowest charting winner since Netta. Conversely Remember Monday only bettered in last decade by Sam and Mae.

That's a good question, that I'm actually in two minds about right now. At least a national final would produce a song that had a proven record of getting public votes. But the chosen song might not be the best one for ESC juries. It's a bit of a conundrum. 🤔

ESC medal table updated post 2025

What with the Eurovision crown passing from Switzerland to Austria, surely it's time for the EBU to bend their own rules for eligibility and give Leichtenstein a go next year. 🤔🇱🇮

Monique Melsen on the Luxembourg jury! I hope she had her 1971 hot pants on!.

Made my night. I had a small Topo when I was a kid (long ago).

Grazie 👍

Wow, that was dramatic! Just realized I made a nice little sum on Italy as top Big Five, not that one is a smug git or anything. 😊

They really need to dwell a tad longer on the scoreboard after each update. I mean it's why people watch. #Eurovision

I'll be raising a glass this evening to the late Colin Berry, UK #Eurovision vote announcer for many years, who passed away in April and whose funeral was this week. This screenshot from his last appearance in 2002.

BBC R2 #SoundsOfTheSixties this morning played all ten UK 60s entries in order, interspersed across the show. On BBC Sounds. Good stuff. 👍

I cannot deny that what I'm looking forward to tonight the most is Topo Gigio announcing the Italian jury 12. He was huge when I was a kid (a long time ago it was). 🐁🇮🇹 #Eurovision

Witness History - Intervision Song Contest - BBC Sounds In 1980, Finnish singer Marion Rung won Intervision, the USSR's answer to Eurovision

Lovely to come across this in ESC week.

Re-watching the semis, is this the first year that the presenters have said "ESC" so much? It just seemed like it, but maybe I've not been paying attention.🙂 #ESC

Great stuff as ever Matt, enjoy your weekend!

I think that since producer order started in 2013 we've been second half 8 times out of 11 (might need to double check).

Yes, I think the only time we've been before 9th in the producer order was Electro Velvet.

I agree, although I fear we are due a very early position.

Just done a quick check and I think this is the first time all 8 are in a Grand Final!. #Eurovision
