Over thinking by the Eurovision team - this is not rocket science, why do they always have to mess around with formats. The more the meddle with it, the worse it usually becomes.

How do you know it won't work? You haven't seen it yet. It's absolutely right they continue to innovate the format, we wouldn't have had the semi finals or indeed the current separate televote and jury score system, arguably the most exciting change made to the format in decades, without a bit of innovation.

BBC Three repeating last year's final tonight. Quite a noticeable anti-strobe vignette popping up every now and then. A bit distracting.

Yes really distracting, and very unnecessary given that they've got the strobe warnings on before the songs anyway. There was a bit during the opening that made it very difficult to make out what was actually happening on screen, it was that dark. They've been doing the same with the iPlayer channel.
