It seems figures are hard to come by - perhaps not surprisingly given the derision heaped upon the contest by most in the U.K. - but it looks like the cost to the BBC back in 2012 was £310,000 - and ££279,805 in 2009.
So I suspect a heck of a lot more than that was paid a decade or so later.
Viewed as a comedy programme it’s probably worth it.
And if we did pull out - would the contestants be allowed to sing in English? An awful lot of them do.
BOOM BANG A BANG!!
