Assuming you watch it now lol

Sir Terry Wogan said he may quit as the BBC's Eurovision commentator, as the UK entry sung by former X Factor finalist Andy Abraham finished in last place.
Sir Terry cast doubt on his role after saying this year's results showed it was "no longer a music contest".

I must admit, I usually watch the voting for the comedic value but it is getting a bit boring now as it is so predictable.

I haven't watched it for about 8 years. I used to love it but it's just dull now.

I love Our Terry but I think he is getting bored with it. Without him, I would never watch it. BC XX

Voting became political and since the UK has few friends in the world of Eurovision we would lose irrespective of the artist and song...time to tell them to stuff it, anyway I'm British not European so there! lol

I watched it and Terry always makes me laugh - thats part of the reason - but the format had changed a lot last night and I am totally stunned that Spain scored points - def political voting.

I didnt think our entry was a winner but it was betterthan a lot of them and should have been in the upper half not bottom.

I cant think of anyone who can replace Terry and his comments. I cant stand him on the Radio, but he is The Euro to me.

Oh and can someone tell me where was Ireland? Did they not partake?

We have very little to look backwards to with pride & nothing to look forward to with hope.

Maddie...*blushes....our Irish entry was something to do with a..er...Turkey....It was supposed to be satirical but it was abysmal. Came nowhere. BC XX

I always set off to watch it and wake up to turn the tv off lo!!!

Terry drove me mad with his constant cycnical remarks, he obviously thinks he is very clever and witty.

I thought he was really funny and if it wasn't for him telling it like it was... I'd have switched off. It's a farce and everyone knows it.......so it's either a case of laugh at it or pretend it's not happening. I'd prefer to laugh at it.

I found the funny side this time but wouldn't want us to be involved again ......... and I don't think Wogan will want to either xx

I certainly watch the Eurovision for the Wogan factor. I would still watch it out of habit if he left im sure.

I also watch it as some of the acts are sooo funny. ..I loved the pirate one :o))

I knew we would lose, and warned Connie we would. It was quite sad to see her say "But Mum, It isnt fair ! " when I explained about political voting.

I'm sorry Ireland never got through, it would have been another laugh I'm sure, but at least they gave us (their neighbour) a few points to save total disgrace.

Normally we can rely on a point from Malta...so they're off our Xmas list now then ?

LOL !

I think it only gets the viewers in this country because of Wogan's comments lol

I definitely won't bother if he's not there next year.

Never watched it,
Why is it still on? Oh yes we are part of Europe and if we dont participate then we will loose our rebate that our Lord Tony negotiated(LAUGH) for us.

Oh yes and another way to waste the licence fee

Not bitter (much)
