Graham Norton takes on the commentating duties at the Olympiyski Stadium in Moscow.

Graham Norton takes on the commentating duties as UK entrant Jade Ewen performs alongside representatives from 24 other countries as they vie for the coveted Eurovision title.

2009 is a big year for the UK, with Jade Ewen, who won Your Country Needs You, heading to Russia to perform Andrew Lloyd Webber's song It's My Time in the vast Olympiyski Stadium, Moscow. 

Graham Norton takes on commentating duties for the first time ever, bringing his own inimitable style to what promises to be a musical and visual extravaganza. 

After all 25 countries have performed, the phone lines open for the public vote, and for the first time ever the phone vote is combined with the votes of a national jury.
