The BBC snubbed the 50 year show as they were going to host it but the BBC were going to spend a lot on it. The EBU wanted to do the whole thing on the cheap and the BBC said that the budget meant the show would be substandard. What DR produced was exactly that something average at best.
So we can all assume the BBC will go all out this time then?
edit: Mind you though, the BBC hardly spent a bomb on their own anniversary show? :?
