    For some reason I find these American reaction videos fascinating, perhaps because they come to the contest without any preconceptions and if a song and performance is good they will give it credit. What a refreshing change from the ‘it’s Eurovision, it must be rubbish’ reaction that we still find in much of the UK media and public.

    PS: Ewan, I stumbled across and an old BBC Eurovision 2019 Podcast last night and both you and ESC Insight got an honourable mention from Scott Mills. What next? Co-commentating with Graham Norton? I wish.
