Geeks in Athens What's ahead for the Eurovision website?

This year the Eurovision website will be updated live and direct from Athens. In the biggest week of Eurovision we'll be poolside with Wogan, backstage with Paddy and getting all the exclusive shots from around the Olympic Hall.

Here's what you'll have to look forward to on the site, from the 15th May:
  • The Euroblog - A blog from all the BBC favourites in Athens, including Terry Wogan, Daz Sampson, Paddy O'Connell and our backstage spies!
  • Exclusive Pictures - We've armed Terry Wogan and Paddy O'Connell with camera phones so that they can update the site live from their phones. Let's hope they can work out how to use them by then...
  • Watch the Eurovision Song Contest live on your PC. We'll be streaming it, in all it's glory.
  • Flash mob in school uniform - we'll have the pictures first! More details to come on this.
  • Buzzword bingo with Paddy O'Connell - your chance to win Eurovision goody bags by matching the phrases spoken by Paddy during the semi final. More info on the site soon.
