Eurovision rewatch: Athens 2006 (20:00 BST) (1 Viewer)

[D5K]

There are two links to the full contest, one has BBC commentary and Bosnia muted; no idea what this one is like though:

 

[dmlaw]

This one has no commentary, if we'd rather.

 

[Madison]

Which one?

 

[Madison]

I’m going with the second one - it’s half an hour longer.

 

[D5K]

The first one claims to be HD so I'd go with that.

 

[D5K]

I’m going with the second one - it’s half an hour longer.

Hmm... if they've chopped stuff out of the first then I'd agree.

 

[dmlaw]

I think the second one has a load of interviews after the main show, but I'm watching that one as well.

 

[D5K]

NO STICK WITH THE FIRST, THE SECOND JUST HAS THE PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE END

 

[Madison]

OKAY

 

[VoR]

Bosnia seems to work on both from a very quick glance

 

[Soldi]

We still need a link for BOSNIA though

 

[COB]

Going for the first one here.

 

[Madison]

First one.

 

[dmlaw]

They both seem to have perfectly acceptable picture and sound quality. I don't think it really matters, but I'll avoid the foreign commentary.

 

[Madison]

30 seconds to go

 

[Soldi]

Oh it WORKS

 

[ButterTart]

Is there no official one tonight, then?

 

[D5K]

Done.

 

[D5K]

Is there no official one tonight, then?

2003 so we're on our backup.

 

[dmlaw]

I've started the first one, but I shall be blaming you lot if the commentator is annoying.

 

[Madison]

Did Sheena go to this one?

Were any other Moopers there?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This is my first ever Eurovision, as a young lad fresh off the plane from Canada.

 

[COB]

Those dolphin freaks

 

[Soldi]

Is that IVI?!

 

[COB]

This is my first ever Eurovision, as a young lad fresh off the plane from Canada.

 

[Madison]

They both seem to have perfectly acceptable picture and sound quality. I don't think it really matters, but I'll avoid the foreign commentary.

I’ve just checked. They’re within a second of each other in terms of sync. You can switch back.

 

[Madison]

Is this the only time tonight that anyone stands on the steps?

 

[Soldi]

We’re a bit QUIET tonight, where is EVERYONE?

@Tisch @Iguana @Lucille @Alla @Zu-Klara

 

[dmlaw]

As I have mentioned once or twice over the past few months, this is the most recent Eurovision which I have never seen. I'm very excited.

 

[D5K]

Is this the only time tonight that anyone stands on the steps?

Not sure they were designed to be clambered on

 

[Madison]

Sakis is a much better flier.

 

[Madison]

Not sure they were designed to be clambered on

I was surprised to see that lady on them.

 

[Suomi]

We’re a bit QUIET tonight, where is EVERYONE?

@Tisch @Iguana @Lucille @Alla @Zu-Klara

are you for real

 

[ButterTart]

I've started the first one, but I shall be blaming you lot if the commentator is annoying.

I just had to restart because of that cancerous pissbiscuit Wogan. I'm listening to someone speaking foreign, but it's infinitely better than someone speaking SHIT.

 

[VoR]

A few minutes behind, but this Greek intro song - they really do think a lot of themselves, don't they?

Loving the DRAMA though

 

[Iguana]

We’re a bit QUIET tonight, where is EVERYONE?

@Tisch @Iguana @Lucille @Alla @Zu-Klara

I didn't watch 2003 before so I'm watching it tonight as a friend (via WhatsApp) is also watching. The only problem with going rogue!

 

[Madison]

Wogan speaks through so much of Lejla.

 

[Madison]

Queen of miming is back.

 

[dmlaw]

I just had to restart because of that cancerous pissbiscuit Wogan. I'm listening to someone speaking foreign, but it's infinitely better than someone speaking SHIT.

The BBC one has a song muted, so that's two reasons that you have made the right decision.

 

[D5K]

Can’t believe the camera direction missed the human 1.
