I'm so glad the BBC are starting their Eurovision spin-off shows again, they were really enjoyable, especially in 2005 when the stage doors after the show got jammed and all those stage hands had to phisically take the doors down! :D

Thanks! I'll be going with my cousin, she'd like to do TV presenting as well, she's not really an ESC fan though, she's only coming because I haven't got anybody else to bring unfortunately. Billy no mates. =P
