A rewatch TIMETABLE

[D5K]

Did that fairly recently. Wasn't as strong as I remembered.

Spoilers!

1989?

 

[dmlaw]

1989?

I’ve never seen it, so I’d be quite happy with that.

 

[Madison]

Famous last words. I can’t believe there was only one nul-pointer.

 

[D5K]

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The PRIMAL SCREAM reference makes me think it may be 2012



(this may not be an entirely serious guess)

 

[D5K]

Oh that's good!

I was trying some sort of Abbey-Bobby / A-Ba-Ni-Bi thing to get to 1978 maybe?

 

[lolly]

I'll try my luck with the Times cryptic crossword

Could also be your namesake

If it's 1992 not watching will be an urgent priority.

Speculation seems to be 1977 or 1992...

 

[Penelope]

I cannot emphasise how unwatchable 1992 is.

 

[D5K]

I'd like to hear from Sideshow @Madison

 

[Madison]

I loved it the first time I watched, but I was only eight.

I think I’ve watched it only once since - an unremarkable contest.

 

[VoR]

It’s not completely without merit. The Greek song is pretty great. It is definitely a dull year though, with an awful winner.

 

[D5K]

I guess they're trying to pace themselves but you'd hope they'd go for the more interesting contests if they can access the rights to them.

 

[D5K]

I'd love another 21st century one but they burned through them pretty quickly last year.

 

[lolly]

From looking at song names only I can only remember two songs. Fairly sure I've never gone below four or five before, from mid 70s on, at least.

I never realised what a hole my 90s Eurovision knowledge was until we did all those rewatches last year, though.

 

[Diddy]

Have they done 1996 yet? That’s the first ESC I watched the shit out of (on VHS)

Prompted MASS PROTESTS and vilification of @VoR when we did it on here!

What doesn't these days?

 

[lolly]

This having to wait until 7.30pm is a right pain in the arse when you have other things you could be doing if it's the wrong year

Yes it’s a bit of a dated lockdown thing isn’t it.

Then again, they keep even the old contests up for a month afterwards now, so I guess if anyone genuinely does feel like having a life instead they can just go for it and revisit at a later date.

 

[dmlaw]

Watching it later is less fun with the Moopy thread though.

 

[D5K]

EVEN year confirmed...

 

[win_the_game]

They’re really drawing this out aren’t they. Just confirm it’s a horror of a year and be done with it.

 

[D5K]

It's 92.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I might be here if it’s not an awful year

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ok i won’t be here

 

[D5K]

I cannot emphasise how unwatchable 1992 is.

 

[lolly]

It's 92.

 

[Penelope]

I'm watching 2016 x

 

[dmlaw]

I have lots of wine so it will be ok even if the contest is as bad as Penelope says.

 

[win_the_game]

I'm watching 2016 x

Oh come and join us for this shit show.

 

[Penelope]

Oh FINE

 

[Penelope]

RUNNING for tonic!

 

[win_the_game]

Good. It wouldn’t be the same without you ripping the arse out of it.
