22:45 Foon Movie: A quasi-musical-comedy which descends into horror, set in the early sixties in a college on the outskirts of West Philadelphia. For 15 years, the graduation ball has been the preserve of the Foons - those teenagers who are immersed in weird notions of fun and who describe themselves as "cool". As they prepare for the graduation ball, it is decided to open up invitations to the nerd underdogs. The eternal rivalry between the cool kids and the nerds is played out with colourful costumes and kooky hairdos. Directed by Benoit Petre, Deborah Saiag, Mika Tard & Isabelle Vitari, and stars Martine Chevallier, and Dominique Frot.

24:15 Finland, Zero Points A humorous story mixing entertainment and history. Finns on the north-east fringe of Europe have always placed a lot of hope in the Eurovision entries since 1961. Their lack of success has therefore traumatized two generations of Finns. The documentary sees Eurovision as a symbolic passport to Europe. After World War II Europe's impression of Finland was that of a brave country, resisting occupation but geopolitically placed too close to Communist Russia. The hope to be a part of Western Europe was nourished each spring on the Eurovision stage. We shall follow the preparations for the coming 2007 final in Helsinki. (From Finland, in Finnish, English and Swedish, English subtitles) (Documentary) (Rpt) G CC

 

any other links to see local versions of eurovision?

Dunno what they're on about Finland like that for tbh! Have they forgotten about 2006?! And tonight, they're likely to do very well.

But - I'm guessing it will be mostly about Lordi - if its based around the 2007 final in Helsinki - Lordi will play a big part of the story - as obv Lordi will have to have won at the 2006 one for Helsinki to get it in 2007...
