For a lot of people, myself included, the reason I watched it was for Terry's tongue in cheek way of looking at it. He never took it seriously which is a great way to look at it as a lot of people in Britain seem to view it the same way.
With Graham Norton taking over the job of commentating on the Eurovision song contest do you think it will be watched as much? While Graham is popular I'm not sure he'll draw the same numbers or make the many hours of various songs as enjoyable.
Will you still be watching next year?

I certainly don't think that Graham Norton will be taking it too seriously, but very few people do. He will also appeal to a different group to Terry Wogan. They are both Irish, so maybe that's the link?

Ah yes, perhaps, never thought of the Irish link at all. My main issue with it is that Graham Norton's type of lighthearted is very different to Terry Wogan's, but quite right, he'll appeal to a different group. It'd just be a shame if it alienates a whole other group, and at least the time it's on would mean he can't be too inappropriate, i know quite a few people who dislike how he can be at times.
I'm definitely interested to see how it goes though, but it won't be the same without Terry.
