The 47th annual Eurovision, live from Saku Suurhall in Tallinn, Estonia. Once again Ken Bruce assesses the talent, including the UK's pop ambassador, Pop Idol finalist Jessica Garlick, who performs Come Back, composed by airline pilot Martin Baylay. The competition is being televised on BBC1.

Eurovision Song Contest 8.00pm R2
Terry Wogan has made cult viewing out of the television coverage of this but radio presenter Ken Bruce competes manfully in the acerbic wit stakes, clearly well aware that the Eurovision is one phenomenon that no one could possibly take seriously, except of course the contestants and the organisers. Radio 2 listeners helped vote in the British entry, Come Back, so we have only ourselves to blame. (Peter Barnard, radio editor)
