Thank you, iPlayer. I too have joined the leagues of the mad/ the masons/ closet Eurofans / Scientologists / French).

I love how one of the men sitting down in the bar says 'Zaarrrrkozee!' loudly enough for us to get the setting. Some of us didn't need it. Truly bizarre. We should write to 'Points of View' and demand an explanation!

Seriously though I do think that Tellier was exciting: not like anything ever to cross a Eurovision stage and even though he sung in English, the whole way team France approached the contest last year was very, well...

I hope the returning juries see that this is not the case. My second thought is, that over my time watching this contest , as well as some real classy chansons (notably the 2001-2002 double) and a few wobbles in the wilderness (see HMSS Naya ) France, possibly more than any other country has had a knack for throw
