Kennet classic!

The irony now

Make that 43

Haha!

Haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly 🙏🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹

Thought they would continue the clip up to that point. So, so true. Remember it well.

It was a catchy song though! I still remember it years later which can't be said for 95% of the songs.

You (and the UK in general) may think that it's entertaining rubbish but quite a few countries take it very seriously and aim to submit their best act. I'm not denying that there haven't been terrible entries throughout the years but there's no need to mock the entire competition.

It is hiš Witt , that stands out. You dont need to take everthing so serioussss ❤️🌹🙏🤗👍🦵💪💘🕺💃👯👯🕺🎀💃💋👯💘💖💓

@@sararistictodorovic2100 It's the worst kind of music. It's absolutely shit.

@@racelox but that’s why it’s good

He was a LEGEND. Graham Norton is very funny though btw.

Well both Irish so sharp wit & comedic genius comes naturally

Not even close

The first Danish person who I've seen not to be offended by these remarks... 😂

@@JeSuisReneSeriously?? Omg Danish people need to get some humour Jesus Christ

@@aleksanderpagels288 I mean, the BBC had to offer an official apology after ESC 2001 as the Danes took personal offence to his comments.

@@JeSuisRene Yes Yes yes I know this and it's so hilarious lol

Meltem Cumbul, I think you mean

@@arthurjohnson9982 thats the one

chileepengwin we miss him too!

So do l, very hard to replace

Viscous? Not sure about that. Vicious? Possibly.

You had to liquefy him first silly.

Euro- -Towelie and so you should be! 🇮🇪

See how he's got the British flag in the thumbnail? He's a Loyalist. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Born Irish died British. He became British when finding out about the impending Knighthood.

@flip inheck Thanks for this & I understand the confusion. As an Irish citizen he was awarded a KBE & then took British Nationality so he could aggrandise himself to Sir Terry & Lady Wogan.

@flip inheck Not so. Bob Geldof-Irish & Casper Weinberger-US were awarded KBEs as they were not British.

We came 1st, 1997

I think Graham Norton's commentary is very funny but I always remember he's walking in Terry's footsteps with his humour.

difcymru there were many many more we missed, however these were 10 of our faves 😊

The host nation (in this case Ireland) always produce a series of "travelogue" inserts to fill in gaps where some broadcasters add their own idents or continuity segments.

flip inheck Ireland, especially in 1994 and 1995, liked to have a few shots of Northern Ireland. As did the UK in 1998.

@@gwishart That's not the point. The point is that Carrickfergus is in Northern Ireland not Ireland.

@flip inheck Well one could take that as a good thing because people view the two countries as the same (which really they are) and thus we have a United British Isles again but on the other hand, you have the likes of the Republicans who'd view that as good because they want a United Ireland. Nevertheless, they are two separate states for the time being and people should start recognising that because they are being either ignorant or stupid or both if they do not.

@flip inheck I just think that devolution has severely impacted the economy as a whole. We're the poorest nation of the UK. I agree that if NI was in a unified Ireland, it would spell disaster both economically and politically because Unionists will be in protest. Ireland has pretty much only survived once it joined the EU. Now there seems to be a growing 'Irexit' campaign which will leave them in a limbo. I'd like to welcome them back into the UK if they did leave the EU. Try and redeem ourselves a bit perhaps. Although with the state the UK is in at the moment, it may not be economically viable. Plus there's always the danger of the IRA getting 'a bit' upset.

This is pretty much the opposite, since he died we have done worse!

It's called humour, if you let some into your life you might enjoy it a little more.

poertjt2 So? Have you watched Eurovision? It deserves the puss taken out of it

To be fair, the UK made a serious attempt in 2009, after Terry had stepped down from his role...

Could you please explain why I keep hearing Christer Bjorkman's name when it comes to Sweden and the ESC? Has he become some important factor in the decision making somehow? And how did this happen?? Could you tell?

Who.is Christer Bjorkman?

No - Bucks Fizz (🇬🇧 1981) had a much greater influence in the ridicule of the contest within the UK than Terry ever did, if you look carefully.

For Australians it's all about the drinking games, and culturally misappropriating stereotypes, for fancy dress, in the name of being a mascot for one's country of choice, at Eurovision parties.

lol look in the mirror

Do the left have a sense of humour?

Have you heard his commentary from the 80s and early 90s. He was much calmer them, and genuinely showed his love of and affection for the contest. The televote, and the consequences of that being introduced, decimated his love for the contest.

@@JeSuisRene Yeah he was much better then but I think it's the expansion of the countries to over 40 that bothered him and in connection with the free language rule. The UK had an advantage before these changes

@@Troyian74 yes, he was annoyed the UK no longer did well, but you could argue that he actually called for the free language rule in 1997, when he said something along the lines of how it would be better if all the songs were in English so we as the audience had a better chance of judging them all.

@Fussbudget the Ninth it's the festival to unite the Europe through song and fun, and ok it shouldn't be taken seriously 'cause it's not the Opera or Theater and very often is far away from Art...but speaking when the performance already started is very rude and disrespectful

Its called humour. Which is a very scarce commodity in the EU. As your comments clearly show.

I guess humour is just subjective

And, in case you didn't know buffoon it's Her Majesty, as we have a Queen.

Do you mean her majesty the Queen. Terry died 2016
