For certain Terry Wogan's comments have been heard and found offensive; I remember a big hoo-ha after the Danish hosted it one year. They talked about repremands; fortunately nothing came of it (sense of humour, folks?) and Wogan was slightly subdued the following year, but still on form.

Unfortunately, I would hazard a guess that the majority of people in the UK tune in because of Terry Wogan. If he weren't commenting on proceedings the Beeb's ratings might fall even lower than they did this year.

I only tuned in at the end this year and wanted to give Terry a big cuddle; he sounded very dejected. :-(
