Pru	I wish it WAS cancelled. It's badly produced as a TV event - yes, lots of money thrown at sets etc, but shamefully old-fashioned, poorly paced and shockingly badly presented (endless 'Hi guys, can I just congratulate you on a wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful show?') and so bloody LONG. Personally I can't stand anything about it, but even if you actually enjoy the music there's still no justifying that interminable voting section. It was naff about forty years ago and it's still naff now. As a TV show it's a disgrace.
honey!oh sugar sugar.	It would be a miracle if interest was injected through that abomination of a song we have been inflicted with this year. Whoever is in charge must be stark raving bonkers!
JK2006	As the BBC girds up its loins, I remember the atmosphere when I took over (for then BBC Entertainment Boss David Liddiment). Alan Yentob (Controller of BBC1 at the time) wanted to cancel it, as Michael Grade had done with Dr Who. We'd lost badly year after year. Ratings were small. Our entries were flops. I revived it by entering hits (Love City Groove and Just A Little Bit) and won after three years with Love Shine A Light. Now the UK is once again in the Eurovision doldrums, with incompetent TV and radio executives picking the entry. I fear a further decline in interest in this fabulous classic entertainment icon. Why? It's so easy to inject interest.
