My Turkish channel is pants - was that 'Going Underground' I just heard, or are my ears playing tricks on me?

I watched the first 15 minutes or so - technically & theatrically brilliant, but I'm not sure what it's saying, & seems to be mostly about England. My partner suggested that a history of London would be more appropriate. Break for dinner, & the a quick look - now about modern Britain, & pretty naff (& would seem to work best for those watching on TV or screens - live would miss much of the detail)Comment

Yes. Going Underground. Have to say that we have never hosted such a good Eurovision Song Contest as this one.Originally posted by Beef Oven View PostComment

I have a lovely vision in my minds eye, of MrGongGong enjoying a quiet vin blanc in some sleepy rural bar in france, as someone puts the telly on, and the locals ask him to explain the unfolding events.....I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

For those who missed it, the ceremony is repeated in full on the red button service from 00:30 - 3:00.
(On my Freeview service, that's Channel 301 and - better - Channel 304 for the HD version)
I would love to be able to retain a copy of the ceremony without the fatuous and entirely superfluous commentary from Huw Edwards et al. Okay, they kept quiet for long periods - but it would be great to have it entirely without. Perhaps that will emerge on DVD in due course."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Quite a spectacle. In fact it has been quite brilliant so far... ... until the countries began to parade on. Then it became a little naff. The materialistic countries with their competitors holding up their cameras, quite forgetting that they are the ones on view. I'm ashamed to say that the England team at the Manchester Commonwealth Games started this fashion. What a pity other nations had to copy us in this way. Ah well. I still think the pluses of this ceremony outway the minuses.Comment
