I have been in a similar position for so long now that i have come to love it, well 'love it' may be a bit strong, but 'rather enjoy it' is perhaps a bit too British - so let's say i 'sort of love it' in summary.I had the misfortune of catching some of the Eurovision Song Contest last night, my wife and daughter were watching it honest!.
I don't subscribe to this stance on the whole - the music itself is for the most part genuinely awful - but you do get those moments (thinking of Poland last year) when it is certainly so. The key here, in the music part of it, is in the staging - especially so this year because it was the staging that so clearly won it.I love Eurovision....it's so bad it's good.
BGT is great....My head is now filled with @Withnail sitting on the sofa & clapping along to BGT !
Make it go away!
*one of the last people I expected to be watching BGT
I take all sensible precautions available to avoid it, but sadly am surrounded by Philistines so cannot usually escape it entirely.*one of the last people I expected to be watching BGT

I can't really speak for the other 8 million people that watch it, only those in my immediate vicinity - i speak only as i find.Is someone who enjoys watching a variety show a Philistine?
Luckily for me i have managed to introduce one of them to the classics, so last night was spent on a marathon session of much loftier and earnest pursuits - as you are no doubt aware, there is nothing at all stupid about the Annual All-Priests Five-a-Side over 75s Indoor Football Challenge Match...After all, who wants to be serious all the time?
