'Game for a laugh' returns to our screens, tonight's show features Engleburt Humperdink and Jedward.

For those of you who can get the transmission signals.....don't bother, save on your electricity bills.

Englebert Humperdink. After half a century that name still makes me LOL.

Tom Jones clone.

Oberon · 05-26-12, 05:56 PM

Russia will probably get it...which is just as well because I think that they are the only contestants who could actually afford to host it.

Oberon · 05-26-12, 06:01 PM

Oh, I stand corrected, Sweden got it...well, they can keep it.

Jimbuna · 05-27-12, 05:15 AM

Well done Sweden

STEED · 05-27-12, 05:25 AM

I hear we came very near the bottom.

About time we pulled the plug on that heap of rubbish.

Second last but of course the voting isn't political or anything of that nature

What a load of cobs wallop and that's being polite

Herr-Berbunch · 05-27-12, 01:47 PM

Wouldn't watch it, didn't watch it, couldn't give two hoots about it.

So Sweden won,

where's Vendor?

This thread made me wonder. So I shall ask.

I saw on my homepage some Loreen I never heard of won. Do American Idol winners end up on your homepage over there? Or did you guys lose interest after Simon left, and was replaced with the make-up queen Steven Tyler?

(I kinda like Carrie Underwood, but otherwise never bought into the commercialist hype of the show or anything similar.

One name made me lose respect for " TV contests"
Chris Daughtry. (who should be up there with Dio, and Chris Cornell in vocal ability)

Couldn't give a shiney-one for any reality telly, on either side of the pond!

Until Battle Royale becomes reality...
