DOCTOR EUROVISION TOTALLY COUNTS

ALSO DAMN YOU RICH/VÜLK, I THOUGHT ZEIT WAS A SURE THING

Posted by: AdamAloud 4th August 2015, 11:46 AM

I considered it but decided that he's more of a guest, not a commentator.

And I double checked with Ryan who agreed so vent your anger towards him as well pls x

Posted by: Ryan. 4th August 2015, 07:09 PM

!!

I consider Dr. Eurovision to have the same status as the likes of Tijana from Macedonia when she was a guest last year, and most of the time the likes of Tijana speak more sense anyway.

Posted by: Vülker 4th August 2015, 07:31 PM

Sorry but I know Dr Eurovision personally and he totally does not count as a commentator for BBC 3.
