Maybe because that’s not the correct URL?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070hvg - This one works fine for me

Bless the BBC who don't even update their graphics. ❤

Can’t wait for the inevitable disappoint when we randomly drop a Melfest reject hours before the deadline

And yet again, despite it happening year in and year out the entire fandom will be shocked and disappointed.

You don't read well, kids, and you are not careful enough at the class!

See what I posted above for UK results in 2020!

Hmmm..it seems I will have to send you all back to Daz Samson's school, you naughty children....

To be fair though those third years as you put them tend to be the years that the BBC changed its selection process in some way; in 2011 it was the year after their brief spell of getting well known song writers to write the track, 2014 was the year they got BBC Introducing to find the act (which they only did that year), from that point on there was no major changes to the process to my recollections.

But yeah, its not beyond the realms of possibility that we do better this year going off past records due to the selection process changing though of course that will depend on who is selected and if there song is any good.

Well Lee Smithurst whos part of the UK Delegation for a while now, tweeted this out yesterday.

I wouldnt be surprised if our entry was one of the last entries to be announced, I remember Arcade was announced as the Dutch Song on 7th March 2019, 3 days before the deadline last year.

Plot Twist!: Turns out the rumours were true and they were planning to announce it this week/last week but they forgot the password to their Twitter and because the Beeb was to ensure total brand cohesion they need wait till Roger from IT gets back from his holidays.

 

[EscGeek]

Electro Velvet was also announced on 7th March.
I expect you to go mainstream this time sooooo.... Dua Lipa confirmed!

That may well be a possibility, wouldn’t put it past them

"B B C 1 2 3 down the Rockefeller street

Yeah, the last sentence perfectly describes the inablity of the BBC in the last decade.

 

[Chrisiam]

Nah, the password is likely Wogan4ev3r. Or its something memorable, something BBC Eurovision are used to, like N1lP01nts

The BBC have filmed a 'Pointless Eurovision Special' today - to be televised at a later date (presumably May the 16th). The teams that will be taking part are: John Lundvik and Jade Ewen, Mans Zelmerlow and Niamh Kavanagh, Dana and SuRie and Mike and Jay from Bucks Fizz.
