Eurovision Rewatch: Brighton 1974

[lolly]

I think I hate revealing the scores in the order they performed most.

 

[lolly]

Katie has clearly practiced that coquettish giggle more than once before

 

[dmlaw]

It's the grey scoreboard for me. If it weren't for Katie, we could be watching in black and white.

MONTE-CARLO ONE VOTE

MARSIELLE TEN VOTES

 

[Alla]

Dear god, is that Madrid or Kosovo?

 

[ButterTart]

Ten jury members per country, each gives a point to a country. Votes added and announced.

That's just needlessly confusing.

 

[Alla]

What the hell just happened with the Spanish votes?

There is a mistake...well never mind

 

[dmlaw]

Dear god, is that Madrid or Kosovo?

With Franco still alive, there's only so much difference.

MARSIELLE TEN VOTES

Sorry London we can't hear you. Your votes won't count.

 

[Alla]

Montecarlo and Holland

 

[Zu]

Sorry (well... ) to go on about it, but there is NO WAY the lines to other countries were as clear as that. If you called NEXT DOOR in 1974, you could hardly hear them for the noise and crackle on the line!

I call SHENANIGANS!

 

[Soldi]

Sorry London we can't hear you. Your votes won't count.

Excusez-moi, je suis dans les East Midlands!

 

[lolly]

Excusez-moi, je suis dans les East Midlands!

Sometimes it's best to keep well buttoned.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Excusez-moi, je suis dans les East Midlands!

Ah. Désolé pour vous

 

[lolly]

One of Bjorn and Benny isn't allowed on stage at first. I forget which.

 

[dmlaw]

I hope they had the reprise in 1974. I wouldn't want the last half hour to have been for nothing.

 

[lolly]

Stig has a magnificent combover, doesn't he?

 

[Alla]

Why didn't they submit the votes to the supervisor first? As simple as that.

 

[lolly]

Oh perhaps both of them weren't allowed on as writers

 

[dmlaw]

Well, that was orderly.

 

[lolly]

The idea that you could just bop about a bit, rather than have a proper routine.

 

[ButterTart]

Such a show of emotion from the winning act.

Switzerland 2016 was the final nail in that coffin.

 

[lolly]

Switzerland 2016 was the final nail in that coffin.

Even after lockdown I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[dmlaw]

Such a show of emotion from the winning act.

It's 1974. Emotions didn't make it to British television until Heysel.

 

[ButterTart]

That rattled past in well under two hours without causing a scene, which was nice.

Less than ten pages though. I knew it was a mistake having Penelope committed to that insane asylum.

 

[Zu]

Oh as if ANY of us need to be reminded of LA SUISSE 2016

THREAD SULLIED BYE LEAVING FOREVER

 

[lolly]

Less than ten pages though. I knew it was a mistake having Penelope committed to that insane asylum.

What about @Tisch and @Suomi? Both lurking, but making us do the heavy lifting.

 

[Zu]

@Tisch has been too busy tucking into that Fray Bentos we sent him for being the poster with the most average taste in Eurovision entries

 

[Zu]

And I can only imagine that @Suomi has been busy stirring one of his VOODOO POTS

 

[ButterTart]

Less than ten pages though. I knew it was a mistake having Penelope committed to that insane asylum.

He broke into your house dressed as Carmen Miranda and shat in your kettle. What choice did you have?

I'm not watching! Just enjoying the posts

 

[lolly]

What do you think we are, a modern day FREAK SHOW?

In that case, you could stand to give out a few more likes. We don't work for free.

 

[Tisch]

Isn't that the moopy tagline?

 

[ButterTart]

What do you think we are, a modern day FREAK SHOW?

Thanks to @Kate we do have a bearded lady.

 

[Tisch]

Fine. But I'll give them out in the same manner as the votes for this year. Confusion all round

 

[Alla]

What do you think we are, a modern day FREAK SHOW?

We definitely are.
