Eurovision Midweek Rewatch: Millstreet, 1993 (2000 BST 06.05.20)

[Dark Carnival]

Oooh a ferry!

 

[Iguana]

This has the feel of a Mr Bean episode

 

[Ellie]

Hope a HORSE runs on MIDWAY THROUGH

Sonia even names a horse “Millstreet”

 

[Kala]

Imagine if it was a modern contest and 10000 amyl fuelled poofs descended on the quaint farming town.

Back then there were maybe 100 of them, it was all a very different time, very civilised.

 

[ButterTart]

Michael Barrymore?

 

[Soldi]

Sonia even names a horse “Millstreet”

 

[ZenGiraffe]

ACTING!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Great acting

 

[Tisch]

More awkward than CROSSROADS

 

[Lucille]

First composer worth a ride.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Sonia even names a horse “Millstreet”

Whaaaat?!

 

[COB]

Oh not CHATTY POSTCARDS

 

[Tisch]

Great acting

Like PORN acting

Or so I've heard

 

[Soldi]

Hope I like this one so @Win_the_game doesnt kill me

 

[Madíson]

Fancy wearing those jackets at a restaurant.

 

[ButterTart]

I wonder what proportion of the cream of Europe's show jumping talent will appear on stage tonight.

Sonia's no stranger to a good ride.

 

[Lucille]

Appealing for the GAY VOTE I see

 

[Suomi]

The shots of the audience entering - I am so proud that the homosexuals changed this contest from an ambassador’s reception into G-A-Y Late

 

[dmlaw]

It was the promise of the loan of a Renault 19 that convinced Italy to turn up this year.

 

[lolly]

Was it long after this that Italy fucked off in a huff?

Fucking good job

 

[Iguana]

Did Englebert base his entry on this?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Was this Italy's last?

 

[Ellie]

Wasn’t this Italy’s last entry for some time?

 

[win_the_game]

Hope I like this one so @Win_the_game doesnt kill me

Even I'm nonplussed with this one.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Appealing for the GAY VOTE I see

HOW?

 

[GinAg (39)]

It was the promise of the loan of a Renault 19 that convinced Italy to turn up this year.

Papa?

 

[Kala]

Enrico is still kicking about. He looks rather 'lived-in' these days. Definitely on 40 Marlboro a day that one...

 

[GinAg (39)]

HOW?

DANA I.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Wasn’t this Italy’s last entry for some time?

We saw them briefly in 1997

 

[Soldi]

Was this Italy's last?

Wasn’t this Italy’s last entry for some time?

Was their FIUMI DI PAROLE (aka the best Italian entry and probably of Eurovision of ALL TIME) just a FEW years after?

 

[Ellie]

Whaaaat?!

I remember it from Wogan’s commentary from our postcard.

 

[Tisch]

Was it long after this that Italy fucked off in a huff?

Fucking good job

My Kalapaedia says they went off on a huff after this year, randomly returned in 97 then huffed off again.

See the 97 thread for details and speculation on their return

 

[ButterTart]

If somebody in Britain looked and dressed like that, you know they'd have a bedsit full of Nazi memorabilia.

 

[lolly]

he wasn't built for leather trousers

 

[COB]

That drum isn't doing enough to give this song (or me) life

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don't completely hate this!

 

[Soldi]

Does @Kalabaliken like this one?

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is a bit/ quite rubbish.

 

[Lucille]

Running out of pages in my notebook for scores. Might have to burn it after lockdown. I’d be MORTIFIED if a shag ever found it!

 

[Soldi]

Is this one dead?
