The UK, rather bland, entry this year is:

Which remarkably according the bookies actually has some vague chance of not coming entirely last.  This has been brought around by the democratic twist that although people can phone up to vote for their favourites, a “panel of experts” will then decide how the voting should go.

Hopefully, in the eyes of the organisers this will help overcome the various voting habits of neighbours voting for one another.  Historically the UK has never done well out of “friendly voting”, mainly because we don’t have that many European friends!  Whether this change will make any difference only time will tell.

The other big change is the lack of Terry Wogans ironic comments throughout the evening.

His blatent insults of the entries, the scoring and indeed the whole concept has kept Eurovision alive with the British public.  Whether Graham Norton will attempt the same, or a more serious approach, only time will tell.

As you can tell he found the experience interesting!
