Eurovision 2024

[meltonblue]

Were BBC to ever have to cost cut as everyone has of late this would be a good choice and save multi millions.

You know we didn’t host it this year or most years, right…?

That and the bbc have cut shedloads.

Certainly and that the multitude of presenters, acts and execs each year pay their own fares ,expenses rather than you and me cough up right?

This is the same bullshit as the old Top Gear argument.

Like it or hate it, this is a show that sells and gets views.

In terms of cost per viewer, it's one of the cheapest to produce.

As long as we’re not hosting it, the costs given the viewership numbers really aren’t that much.

It’s not my cup of tea at all but my wife and daughters all like it.

I didn’t watch it and like I said it’s not my cup of tea in general :) Just pointing out whether you or me like it or not isn’t a reason for the bbc not to show it I don’t think.

They finished 5th because love, not hate won.

Thank you EBU.

SPOT ON.

Some of us just want to watch a bit of gay satanic porn on a Saturday night without some puritans getting all offended. Nowt wrong with it. World's gone soft.

Their song was proper shite though, to be fair. The juries rated it pretty low.

The scantily clad gays and satanic songs have all been done before so many times. It probably wouldn't be Eurovision without weird or pervy acts. I'm surprised people are actually shocked by that 40 years after Frankie said Relax.

Instantly forgettable shite and bland even by the usual Eurovision standards.

Most of the stuff I watch on the BBC is not popular, mainly BBC2 or BBC4 for me, but that’s the point, they’re there to provide entertainment for everyone. Viewers were down this year for Eurovision but 8M or so still is good. Dr Who only gets 3M these days but that doesn’t include those who streamed the programme when it was released earlier on iPlayer. Gone are the days of 20M+ viewers.

Completely agree.

BBC1 averaged out at a cost 9p per hour last year.

CBBC averaged out at 39p per hour.

Eurovision will be one of their best viewed programmes and as a result one of thrn most cost effective.

We’re just living through a period where non-liberal snowflakes want everything cancelled that isn’t in their small window of what is acceptable to them.

Time for Sir Cliff to give it one more go next year

You're talking different levels here, Frankie Relax was an absolute banger of a tune in its day. Make a tune like that, albeit that in reality Trevor Horn really made it the tune that everyone knows and you can do whatever weird, pervy stuff you want.

Make a shite song and the only thing thats focused on is the pervy stuff.
