Wooh yeah! I’m so excited about this.

Join Graham Norton at 8pm on BBC1 for the Eurovision Song Contest live from Dusseldorf (or if you prefer Ken Bruce on Radio 2). 25 countries are competing in the grand final, including Ireland with Jedward’s Lipstick (which as song number 6 behind other upbeat numbers from Sweden and Estonia is a really bad draw for them) and the UK’s Blue with I Can who will be the 14th to sing. Hit the red button for singalong lyrics!

This year promises dynamic voting to make things as exciting as possible (although it’s based on the national juries votes taken from yesterday’s dress rehersal, so it may not work all that brilliantly in practice) and in a first, electronic voting from the Bother’s Bar venue of choice (i.e. an iPad with Numbers) so I might be chipping in with some stuff if I can get the wi-fi connected. It’s all VERY EXCITING.

You can see the running order and download a scorecard from the BBC here.

It’s not just Eurovision that’s on this evening, Don’t Scare The Hare is on at 4:40, So You Think You Can Dance at 5:30pm, Sing if You Can at 7pm, Britain’s Got Talent at 8pm and The Million Pound Drop at 9pm. You can chat about those and anything else you fancy here.

I’m so excited about this, we’ve got our Rach flag up and flying and everything. Today is dedicated to pop chanteuse Rachel Stevens, of whom Come and Get It was one of the greatest pop albums of the last decade. This day came about because really, when she comes back with new material she ought to cover Kate Ryan’s Eurovision classic Je t’adore and Jedward’s Lipstick.

At this juncture we wanted to put up something Rachel and gameshow related. Unfortunately the only bit of Rachel Stevens on Dick ‘n’ Dom In Da Bungalow appears to be this:

Which is not actually the sort of Dick and Dom/Rach thing we wanted 🙁

In other news, @OfficialBanker is desperate for everyone to watch today’s Deal or No Deal and is asking people for their Twitter commentary on #dealornodeal. Apparently something happens today that has never happened before.

Right, despite it sounding completely rubbish, it sounds like ITV have comissioned a seven episode run of High Stakes.

There was some chat about the pilot here.

Right, the second one and the one I’m reliably informed is the stronger semi final.

Fingers crossed, I might get a chance to watch some of this one.

Once again, this begins at 8pm UK time/9pm in Europe, and if you can’t watch with Scott Mills and Sara Cox on BBC3 then there should be a live stream here. The BBC scorecards are here. Watch Jedward sail through, despite/because the UK can’t vote in this one. please feel free to give your opinons and marks out of ten!
