Episode 3 is here and starts off in a quite literal quizzical manner...
Hints on today's reviews include...

1) too many bits
2) standing and singing a song
3) Racine Carrée
4) vowels….?
5) 2 minutes of song, a minute of ‘voicing’
6) Steptoe and son

On the plus side NO EDITS – we were very well behaved today (although it has been replaced in this episode by extreme grumpiness. Also fewer weird references today more because we were very tired and wanted to get under the hour banner… oh dear epic fail… As ever listen out for the hidden ending....

Armenia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Latvia and Portugal

It's the Eurovision review show that has the one thing Eurovision doesn't - LOTS OF SWEARING !!!!

Andy and Ann are back with the fan and non-fan's view of this year's Eurovision entries... I would say how many entries there are but this number could change at any time... In this show we review 6 from the list...
Don't worry we try and recap the rules, the bizarre scoring system and we also talk about the slight change to the format but it doesn't really change how we feel about anything to be honest!

Things to watch out for -
1) Many references to Mr Tumble
2) WWE themes/walk on music
3) Po-land (quite literally)
4)Andy remembers something Ann didn't think he would remember...
5) Alternate re-writes of the Greek chorus
6) Is this Austria or is it actually Australia


The songs revewed today come from, in alphabetical order:
Austria, Finland, Greece, Poland, Switzerland and the hosts, Ukraine.
