Almost missed this annual masochistic form of entertainment, as I was at work until about 8pm.
Different voting rules, but the same result - a show of solidarity for old political alliances.
Graham Norton appeared to have been ordered not to be bitchy about the acts (come back Wogan!), so he ripped it out of the voting countries representatives instead.
e.g.
"You'd think he would have had a shave".
"Good god!".
"Looks like he's skipped lunch to join us".
"Plaid can be so concealing".
I also caught a bit on Radio 2 on the way back from work. They had a Wogan sound-a-like on, who wasn't doing a bad job.
His best line, after Russia had performed, was "Now I know why Anna Karenina threw herself under the train..."
Of course the fashion is now to use twitter to follow a celebrity who's watching the event. Apparently Wossy was commenting.
The weirdest part (if you don't count the Azerbaijanian entry) was the interval act, which involved people splashing around in shallow, perspex swimming pools flown from the lighting rig. How Bizarre, How Bizarre!
