What I cannot work out is whether I will be able to watch the Eurovision Song Contest this year on my computer without needing to watch via the BBC iPlayer.
Watching the Eurovision song contest on television in the 1950s and 1960s was magical.

I didn’t see any mention of BBC iPlayer on the linked page.
We’ll be first with exclusives on the rehearsals as they happen
Hmm. Not very exclusive if they’re only going to be first!

Why is Australia participating in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Why is Australia participating in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Because Australia is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.
I don't know why that is, but quite possibly so that they can get feeds of such things as the New Year's Day concert from Vienna, and possibly football matches and so on.

Thank you, William.
By the way, did you notice the typographical discrimination against Slovenia on the eurovision.tv page?

In what way please?

The names next to most of the national flags are in 18px type, but the font size for the name next to the Slovenian flag is only 16px. Additionally, the performer and title (“LPS – Disko”) are not in bold type.
Here are the flags of the 25 Eurovision Grand Finalists:
Eurovision 2022: the surprise psychological impact of watching the song contest
Subwoofer - Give That Wolf A Banana (Official Music Video)
I tried to watch the Eurovision song contest yesterday evening.
I used to, in recent years, with regret, avoid it because of the disgraceful sarcastic nasty comments added in by the BBC.
One year a man was about to play a guitar and the camera went on him and the BBC commented that he has a receding hair line.
Why mention it?
But that seemed to have gone yesterday. I only noticed one unnecessary comment added by the BBC, about the dress one of the women reporting a jury's votes was wearing.
I was watching it on my computer but alas I did not view a lot of the entries though I heard them.
I had two instantiations of the web browser going so everytime the warning about flashing lights came on I looked at the other, blank, webpage until the song was over.
I cannot understand why such flashing lights are allowed. It is possible to have good visual effects without flashing lights.
I remember one where someone acted planting an apricot seed and watered it, then later a huge model of an apricot tree with white flowers in abundance rose up.
That was spectacular. There seemed nothing special about flashing some lights, though I was not watching.
William
I'm with you William when it comes to the flashing lights. Personally I don't mind them, but my wife finds them very disturbing, and like you chooses to look the other way.
What a great night for the UK though, apparently the best we have done for 20 years.
I have to say that the three presenters were pretty awful, probably because the scripts they were given were just so cringe worthy, I felt quite embarrassed for them, and the pauses they were taking at the end were just completely unnecessary and frustrating.
