The music is getting better, these last few years. There seems to be less of a stigma associated with doing Eurovision. You still have plenty of the downright odd stuff though.

This year Ukraine should win and it helps that their entry is genuinely pretty good. Norway have fielded a song about feeding bananas to a wolf, riffing on Little Red Riding Hood, in errm yellow. Spain's entry sported a pretty close shave and manages to lose even more clothing - quite a decent song too.

UK (my homeland) are hoping for a decent result after taking quite a few beatings over the years - "null points". Our boy has absolutely smashed it on the socials so should be OK. [Greece have just ticked under 18]

Whatever happens, we have our Irish compere to get us through the night. Graham Norton and before him Sir Terry Wogan, have been the voice of the Eurovision SC in the UK for absolutely yonks.
