Unusually, I watched our Eurovision qualifier "Making Your Mind Up" on Saturday night, partly to top up my gay cred after watching 3 consecutive Six Nations' Rugby matches immediately prior. Suitably, and against bookies' odds (it's the sort of thing they're shit at) the uber-camp "Flying the Flag" by a reformed Scooch won out as the UK entry.
Watch out for those spoken double-entendres from the male trolley dolly, which for me put it a notch above the cheesey slab it could have been. The airline-themed performance was also a stormer which hit all the right buttons, even if the Gene Hunt lookalike on lead vocals appears to have ate a lot of pies since their last stint as a poptet (left).John Barrowman approved - he was in the studio as a guest pundit and can briefly be seen jiggling in this YouTube clip.
The UK was the last of the 42 nations to decide who goes to the final in Helsinki on Saturday 12 May.
