Will the BBC newsreader say 'good morning' at the start of the bulletin?

Both "this evening" and "good evening". Sickening.

You also have to remember how Eurovision voting works.
You can come 11th or 26th in every country, but that means you don't get points from any of them, because only the top ten get them.

Whilst the arena looked flawless, I thought it was a bit boring-looking during the acts.
However, the screen lifting to reveal the green room and the country-flag-coloured lighting during the results was really innovative. The split screen congratulating the winner, with all the other acts cheering on the background looked fantastic as a finale to the show. Well done, Sweden! 👏

Very disappointing. He literally said Laura Kuenssberg's programme was "later this morning", but signed off with "Good night", then the weather presenter said Good evening as well

Where do we get access to the details for the public vote for each country? I can't find it on Eurovision's website.

The best pop song won.
Need to bring juries back for the semi finals as well. It balances things out nicely.
Having a 50/50 jury and public vote makes the contest more of a challenge to win. You can’t just go with a novelty song that might do very well in the public vote, you’ve got to have something the juries will go for enough as well. It’s got to stand out for both. Same the other way - you can’t just throw a dull serious ballad you think might appeal to the juries, you’ve got to go with something the public vote will go for too.
Much better that way. And the current way of announcing the scores builds the tension well.
