This time next week a rather special, erm, “event” should have just finished on this blog, and as such, absolutely nothing of note will be happening. However if you look in at some point before then, probably from next Monday morning onwards, there might well be evidence of said “event” in progress. Failing that, there’ll just be a nice photo to admire.
As you were.
The Eurovision Song ContestJess Cully writes, “Nicki French was certainly our singer the last time the Contest was held in Sweden, but the host city then was Stockholm. The Contest is huge in Sweden and none of its major cities would be allowed to hog the Contest by hosting it twice in a row, hence the choice of Malmo this year. If Sweden wins it again in the near future, expect us to be either back in Stockholm or in Gothenburg.” Indeed, but even though we’ve not enjoyed it quite so much since the Beeb stopped making the scoreboard and got its logo on it every few minutes, we’re still there ready to enjoy the spectacle, and it seems like Graham Norton, for our money probably the best light entertainment presenter on TV at the moment, has been doing this forever.
If you’re planing to recreate ‘Our World’ in real time, I’d say that was a sure indication that your obsession with David Frost has gone too far.
No Frostie, sadly, but it appears that Steve Wright might be involved.
