There's something about Eurovision that demands you sit through the entire damn thing, come hell or high water (or truly dreadful Swedish songs up first), even if something like Tell No One is on the other side, dammit... Oh well, it hasn't been too awful all round this year (thanks apparently to the semis weeding out the dross earlier).
Blue were quite an unusual choice for us, but hey, they have a Euro profile already from way back when, so maybe that will count for something... Bless 'em, they did try, and pretty much pulled it off - although I'm not sure what was going on with the sound? They can sing (you could just about hear them) so why they were being drowned out by the production, I have no idea... And it would be a terribly entertaining evening if Ireland won again. Shades of Father Ted's My Little Horse, but lordy, I do have a terrible soft spot for the sainted stylings of Jedward bouncing around inside a giant red glitter cannon by the look of things. Bless.

Eeep! we got 12 points on the second vote announcement! that's..actually quite cool! And after the 4th we're heading the board, woohoo! can't last of course, but what the hey!
Aaaand... eleventh. Post-jedward. How fitting...
( much Who rambling... )
Earlier, of course, we had the long, long awaited foray of a certain Mr Gaiman into writing Who. Not that we weren't supposed to have had this last year, I think, but it fits into the mood this year quite well, without changing too much (although I will admit to being slightly upset at the thought of losing the Tardis swimming pool, dammit!).
Sooooo.. 'The Doctor's Wife'. Which had moments of real fabulousness, and was more than a little heartrending at times, even if I'm not convinced it worked entirely as a whole... I wasn't sitting there glued to the screen for chunks of it unfortunately. I wasn't exactly gripped by Amy and Rory running up and down corridors due to the fact I can barely bloody remember what the last incarnation of the Tardis looked like (It didn't matter enough in the grand scheme of things what the control room looked like, honestly.)
