the Eurovision website throughout the whole live show.
So if you've never seen it before and you're bored on Saturday...[/quote]
I assume it's the clean international feed they're streaming--I'd rather see BBC1's version, so I can hear Terry Wogan's often-disdainful (so I hear) commentary on the proceedings.
You can stream BBC Radio 2's live coverage at their web site, but I assume Ken Bruce isn't as crotchety as Wogan. [/quote]
I'm not sure I'd go quite as far as "disdainful" - he loves it, that's why he does it every year, but certainly he's not scared to be very dry in his commentary towards many of the acts and especially the hosts and even more especially the voting.
It's also a tradition to try and work out how much he's had to drink between the beginning and the end of the three-hour extravaganza. And by that I mean in the alcoholic sense, obviously.
I gathered that in Australia last year they replaced the Wogan commentary with two home grown commentators, but the TV company had so many complaints they re-ran the entire three hours with Wogan's commentary put back on it.
