Eurovision song contest 2023

[Magicpole]

Fuck sake, what a weekend, we play like a bunch of pricks against our pals, then we don’t win Eurovision. Where will it end?

Another reason to abolish the licence fee.
The BBC waste money on this annual shit show.

The thing is it probably isn’t that much to make much of a difference to the licence fee (which I’m happy to pay to ensure there is always a low-cost ad-free viewing option for everyone). If people watch it it’s probably good value. After all it’s no worse than the shite that ITV put on for weeks on end (Jungle, Talent etc).

It has a global audience of over 161 million, it's huge

extra coverage this year as we are hosting it.

but I've noticed right wing media this year, likes of GB News etc be really bitter about it and keep it in the headlines for negativity reasons. All part of the divide nowadays.

Exactly. It’s a bit of fun that brings a lot of joy to a lot of people across the world. The mind boggles at people who pretend to be annoyed about it.

Completely agree - the show is utter pap, countries vote for their mates and everybody hates us,
We pour vast sums of our licence fee into it which is an utter disgrace.

It is Crap.

"Reality" TV is a blight on modern day television. Bakeoff, masterchef, IACGMOOH, X Factor, BGT, etc etc. Desperate stuff.

Are any of you Song Contest lovers going to buy the compilation album?

No, I thought not.

Never been the same since Katie Boyle jacked it in. At least she didn't say, " Hey you-o, over here-o, la !

I'm not sure they are pretending. Most are perpetually moaning dullards.

I love the smell of Gammon in the morning :)

That's true but networks need to have a broad offering and cater to idiots who lack the imagination and attention span to follow a six part series of 30 minute episodes. :)
