Nation, rejoice!

At last, after months of speculation, the BBC has announced that Wogan's xenophobic, stale and repetitive commentary on Eurovision is being retired. After 35 years, we have the opportunity to choose a UK citizen to do our commentary. So they've chosen another Irishman. To the surprise of no one, Graham Norton has landed the job. Well done to him. Things can only get better...

There's a misplaced apostrophe in the BBC's own news story on this which just about sums it up for me.

Jay Hunt, Controller of BBC One, thanked Sir Terry for his work on the programmes. "Terry has enhanced viewer's enjoyment of Eurovision for many years," she said.

Quite. Would that lone viewer who has had their enjoyment enhanced by Wogan like to put up their hand?
