If Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlöw are returning then that’s fine. If not, I won’t be watching.

The art of commentary is knowing when to not talk I find.

Well done, BBC Studios - even if it was a case of back to mediocrity for the UK entry, the show itself was a triumph.

Why? Maybe they’ll find someone just as good or even better than Petra, they wouldn’t be presenting it had Sweden not won either and I doubt you’d have said the same thing. I believe she works for a rival channel in Sweden so it’s unlikely she’ll be back and they’ll probably want to try something else.

I hope not, there was far too many low level musings over the top of everyone

To be fair, if she got the job full time I’m sure she’s be able to adapt based on feedback.

Indeed. It’s been fantastic, and flawless.

I’m very aware that they wouldn’t be hosting it if Sweden didn’t win. Not sure what implied that.
You know that people can have personal preferences right? Plus, they are Eurovision’s most popular hosts.

11/10 presentation wise for the three shows this week. The casting of Hannah Waddingham especially has been a particular highlight, while Alesha Dixon's "raps" while awful were pure Eurovision which you'd expect from any of the European hosts of the past for cheese.
The Ukrainian presenter Julia Sanina was also an inspired choice among the British presenters.
Mel I'm 50/50 on, her comedy milking will be a meme, but her commentary was dire.

Yes, I did enjoy Hannah Waddingham presenting.
imagining her in a habit marching Mel out of the commentary booth shouting Shame! Shame! Shame! GoT style.
