It's a dreadful show that no-one should watch. The lack of responses speaks for itself. The results are political and have nothing to do with singing.

Yeah, I don't blame him :p (specially after what happened last year/a couple of years ago - where he had to be sneaked out of the host country, cos he had death threats, after jokingly taking the micky out of the country (can't remember where it was - but remember hearing about it during this years "run up")

Does make a total farce out of it though.

Hadn't heard about that- never watch the programme nowadays anyway.

haha - me either :)

Just found on the BBC site, back ion 2001 (lot longer than I thought =)), these comments (so I'm guessing this is the year it happened)

Quote:
Eurovision is superb - a group of friends, lots of Pimms and the inspired, not to mention hilarious, comments from Mr. Wogan make for a thoroughly enjoyable summer's evening.
Olly, UK

Although 38,000 Danes turned up to watch the event, the organisers showed little respect by fielding what must be the country's worst presenters.

Wogan's description of them as Dr Death and the Toothfairy was entirely appropriate.
Ian Richards, UK

The Russians should've won, with Denmark second - and Terry Wogen was right about the Tooth Fairy and Dr. Death...
Heather Wallace, UK


I really love the comment Wogen made though <G>

Wogan's description of them as Dr Death and the Toothfairy was entirely appropriate.

LOL Laugh
