TV schedules are thrown into chaos as both matches go into extra-time; cue Motty apologising “to those of you who’ve tuned in to watch Tommy Walsh’s Eco House, this programme will now be shown at a later date.” Fittingly, for four cracking semi-finalists, both matches were won by the tightest of margins. From the comments on the voting pages, it would have been a brave punter to have staked much on either outcome. But in the end, our finalists are the song which, I suspect, the most people would have predicted would have got there, against the one which has generated the most discussion on the road to Wembley. Now off down the pub, all of you, because the final’s been sold to ESPN.

Trumpton Riots losing in the semi-final? It’ll always be the winner in my eyes.

Will there be a play-off for third place?

I think the moment has passed for that now. Would have been interesting though to see what might have been, both having missed the Wembley showpiece by a short head. Both semis went the way I would have expected, but I wouldn’t have been that surprised to see at least one of them going the other way.

I would just like to say that I’m one of those recalcitrant people who has ESPN but won’t have Sky.Indeed I have ESPN _because_ I won’t have Sky. So you’re welcome round mine for final. Though at the last minute they’ll probably decide to show US basketball despite having the rights to this.
