A rewatch TIMETABLE

[AGinAg (37)]

We've seen both of those haven't we?

I can't remember.

 

[Suomi]

We've seen both of those haven't we?

yes although 2004 was technically mob rule - very unfortunate incident, think some posters has had a few splashes - and I can’t remember the winner for the front page.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh 2004 was the collapse of gay humanity night. If it is we're TOTALLY WATCHING IT.

 

[Beverley]

Could also be Athens or Lisbon

 

[Beverley]

omg i hope its athens

 

[D5K]

They did Athens in their second week when we did something else.

Could be Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Riga, Luxembourg, Lisbon, Istanbul, Tallinn, Bergen, Madrid, Dublin, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, loads to choose from!

 

[D5K]

Oh 2004 was the collapse of gay humanity night. If it is we're TOTALLY WATCHING IT.

Oh yeah we haven't "done" 2004.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Late night ones are absolutely valid for a prime time rewatch.

 

[ButterTart]

A quick glance at Wikipedia tells me our show tonight comes from this (probably incomplete) list of cities.

Athens
Dublin
Lisbon
Stockholm
Helsinki
Istanbul
Tallinn
Riga

 

[Beverley]

i just hope it's a comparatively modern one

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I hope it's a 1970s one

 

[ButterTart]

2004, 2006, 2016 and 2018 are all on the table according to the clue, so any one of those would do me quite fine.

 

[win_the_game]

2000 might be in with a shout.

 

[D5K]

I hope it's a 1970s one

I'd be surprised if he ever does 70s tbh, I think he'd lose a lot of interest from the 'casual' fans (well as casual as you can be if you spend four hours each saturday night reliving an old contest)

 

[Soldi]

I am quite enjoying uncovering some HIDDEN GEMS from the 70s-80s contests. I’ve had FRAMLING on repeat ALL WEEK.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I didn't think I'd enjoy the 80s but 1981 and especially 1983 are TOP NOTCH

 

[Alla]

Oh I discovered fantastic songs in the 83 ESC. Plus Ofra and Carola.

 

[Soldi]

I didn't think I'd enjoy the 80s but 1981 and especially 1983 are TOP NOTCH

1999

I think we should watch it as my BIRTHDAY TREAT

 

[Dark Carnival]

Remedios
Ofra
Carola
Finland

 

[Dark Carnival]

I even like bulldog faced Corinne Hermès and our entry!

 

[Dark Carnival]

1999

I think we should watch it as my BIRTHDAY TREAT

Babes, 1999 is in a league of its own!

 

[Beverley]

I do feel relieved that I found out about Ofra without watching any of the contests.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

1983 was the absolute tits. Framling and Hi are fucking GOLD.

 

[Alla]

I do feel relieved that I found out about Ofra without watching any of the contests.

She had a couple of albums that sold shitloads here back in the day, so many people know her without the Eurovision connection.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't know why in all my years of Eurovision fandom I'd never acknowledged Framling as the lost ABBA gem I never knew I needed. I know she deserves to die, but Carola is a Eurovision ICON.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

1983, 1999, 2009 may be my faves to date.

 

[lolly]

In definitely looking forward to 1984 more than whatever the 8pm show is.

 

[lolly]

Just finishing watching 1979 with Mr L. Better than 1978, but not as good as I'm imagining 1977 to be, based on audio only.

 

[Soldi]

What’s tonight’s backup option?

 

[Alla]

1984 has one of my favourite Spanish entries of all time. I guess not everyone's cup of tea, but whatever.

 

[Alla]

What’s tonight’s backup option?

1999

 

[D5K]

What’s tonight’s backup option?

Still 2013 or 2006 like every week.

 

[Alla]

wrong thread.

 

[Suomi]

Front page updates:

1983 - Hi
1984 - Terminal 3
2016 - Sound of Silence

all added to the Moopy winners list

Wed 20th May pencilled in for @Alla-vision: The Sequel

 

[Suomi]

Can we please all discuss now whether we actually want the 2005 Making Your Mind Up as the post-1993 watch? I recall some grumbles about UK national finals.

 

[Alla]

Wed 20th May pencilled in for @Alla-vision: The Sequel

I was thinking 13th if possible, but we'll see.

 

[Suomi]

okay, i'll make that the main event

 

[Lucille]

I’ve still not recovered from the last one!!!

 

[COB]

I definitely like a UK national final, mainly because I can't face a double-bill of Eurovisions when they're so long. I may not be the target audience though as I need my sleep these days

Yeah, this. Even on Saturday I found I was starting to tire after two full-length shows.
