I enjoy watching the DVD also!!! On the 2007 DVD, I could watch the amazing Lordi introduction, without the dulcet tones of Terry Wogan intruding!!! Result!! 
I really wish they would get rid of the commentators for the BBC!!! I find them to be nothing but a bunch of idiots who know nothing about the contest and it would be nice to have peace and quiet, just as if I were watching the DVD

Its so obvious that you two are the same person, and you're awful at hiding it!
I mean look at your reaction times, they were A SECOND APART!!!! You are so stupid!
(or you could be siamese twins but I highly doubt that!)
I agree!!
@ Candyman ESC
hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
she looks better than wogan at least !
@ Lady Sarantuya B.
Why? It's true!
Must admit though, I'm from the UK and I don't really know who she is... I think I might have been confusing her with Claudia Winkleman...
Andy not only won't pull it off but he will end up in bottom 5.
Shame on UK for choosing him instead of Michelle.
They deserve the bad results they get every year since they select cheap and boring entries instead of good UK pop music.
cheryl baker is on the panel of judges at west end eurovision along with sally ann triplett (bardo and prima donna) and frances rufelle, the event is being filmed for a television broadcast at a later date
World Song Contest:
Shut up!
young and female... thank the Lord. Anything to broaden the show's appeal is fine by me. Now let's retire Wogan... the £150,000 a year fee we'll save can buy us a decent entry for next year.
It will be Jean-Paul Gauthier & Julien Lepers for France...
@ Simon Clifford
Claudia Winkleman might announce the British points. It's kind of the pattern now. Host the British NF alongside Sir Terry and be the spokesperson.
Mind you, Fearne announced for 2006 as well, was she involved in our NF that year at all? I don't really remember.
Who is this woman
Yes Andy will not win because Europe hates UK! I am not talking about the song!!
Good choice, pretty, funny and friendly. If Andy was to pull it off in Belgrade, she wouldn't be a bad host of ESC2009. Then again, Andy probably won't pull it off...
I've never hear of her? And i'm a Brit-Boy LOL
Who's going to give our points? Hopefully not Fern Cotton again, the BBC need to get the lovely Cheryl Baker again, she's great!
When is the list of spokes persons going to be released?
cawood was a bitch last year,
She's amazing !! good choice ... i was watching the soap awards and thinking who is she - as i knew her and her voice, it must of been from TMI - it was a great show 
Vote and help me predict winner...

Caroline who??
Well known TV shows??? er....I haven't heard of any of them never mind seen them!
Still - some positive comments on hear, so sounds promising.
Caroline Flack is best known as a Childrens presenter on TMI people can argue this but it`s true and she is great Not a bimbo not a fake or a fraud but a nice girl next door sweet pretty girl with genuine likeability. I am very pleased with this....get rifd of Paddy and Terry and the 21st Century would actually happen at the BBC...live in hope.
get a better picture caroline flack is a babe this pic looks nothing like her lol
Yeah, good choice. She also did backstage interviews at the most prestigious soap awards in The United Kingdom - The British Soap Awards 2008.
She's very hot as well!
I LUV CAROLINE FLACK
Paddy's alright, I just wish he was able to get his facts and names right. He makes so many mistakes.
"Eyes Gee from Poland!" - "Bosnia-Hersagovnia" - "Evridicky" - "Moldavia"
I sometimes wonder where the BBC found him.
