The figures you've quoted are the program to select the UKs entry. The overnights for last nights Eurovision were 8.4 million.

One of the few reasons I'd have voted for Brexit and it wasn't part of it! We pay loads towards it and Europe gives us nothing in return.

Since they first opened it up to phone voting to make some money, very clear what most of Europe thought of us.

I think that's a bit too navel gazing. The majority factor will be because our songs and singers have been dreadful.

This has always been my favourite representation. Probably the only time in my life, start of the Blair government, when I thought we'd begun to sort our shit out (and not just in eurovison).

Even if we sent a really strong entry, we would always finish in the bottom half. Of course, I am not saying the actual song and artist is irrelevant, but it generally is second string to other factors. A basic comprehension of who votes for who when you look into it makes a mockery of the event.

I'd like to see us do exactly the opposite. Let's have corny 1970s-style Eurovision entries every year: Brotherhood of Man dancing; copious use of phrases like "ding dong" in the lyrics and fixed wide grins performing it. Let's have some fun with the medium.

the amount of people on social media, from all ends of the political spectrum, who I've seen trying to use Eurovision to make points about everything from Brexit to events in Gaza is madness!

Still, without Eurovision we'd never have had the Father Ted, my lovely horse episode. An absolute classic.

We are far better off not winning as it would cost a fortune to put this charade on.

Morrissey once nearly represented Britain at Eurovision

What could have been.

We could convince Beyonce and Jay-Z to represent us and we wouldn't make top half.

I enjoyed the whole thing - the boys vote on the best looking women - I said to the wife we would score nothing - should have put a bet on . Our song wasn’t the worse Europe just hate us in general - the staging was pretty poor though for our song - looks like they spent all the budget getting there - so the Italians are now being accused of snorting coke - pretty well needed to as their song was pretty average !
