Eurovision 2023 - BBC

[natashajacobs]

Are there many big name presenters who are known all across Europe to host a European ‘flavour’ show? Most are only known in their country and I don’t think Graham Norton is as well known as people on here seem to think he is. (And as an aside, I much preferred the semi final commentary to Graham in the final. He just doesn’t seem to strike the right tone to me whereas Rylan and Scott are so passionate and it comes across throughout.)

I'm not thinking of traditional presenters though - I'm thinking of notable Brits from movies and music who could host alongside an experienced presenter.   Doesn't have to be an A-lister but someone who at least is somewhat known - Dan Stevens could have been a shoe in given his role in the film but his recent One Show antics would probably put the BBC off.

If we were to keep it in the BBC family so to speak though I wouldn't be against Rylan and Sara Cox.  If Graham Norton is the best they can get on an international name front then so be it, but I just don't think it's good for the show itself to have a host who has to juggle commentary duties too.    Indeed how often has that actually happened?

Few movie stars would host Eurovision I expect and nor would I want them to, it’s not really the vibe of Eurovision. It would just be weird. And why would they be British necessarily? I agree with others, I can’t see a full team of British presenters under any circumstance
