Something that wasn't required of Terry at Brum 1998, which may explain Mel's role as co-commentator.Surely they can find a more elegant solution for a home contest. Have it as a recorded VT or something with the UK getting a different version to everyone else.
Quote:I doubt Graham will host during the voting either - it's usually only one or two of the hosts with the third in the green room. I suspect Graham will just top and tail the performances and voting.I think if Graham wasn't hosting the voting it would reduce the need for the second commentator. Whilst the voting is the most important bit for a commentator, Graham doing it in person is just too good.
