As noted elsewhere, the TOGMeister is no longer going to host Auntie's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. juggzy decided that the internet at large should choose his replacement. I'm hosting the semi-finals of the selection process, so her entirely fiends-list doesn't leave in disgust ;-)

The quarterfinals are in these three posts, complete with youtube links, in case you've forgotten what any of these people look like. I've instead opted for a pointless fact about each culled carefully from Wikipedia.

This is a public post, so feel free to point any interested parties who agree with me in this direction.

Your choices in semi-final 1 are Stephen Fry (Rector of the University of Dundee 1992-1998) or Sue Perkins (Footlights President 1990-1991). In semi-final 2, you have Bill Bailey (named his son after a Star Trek character) and Eddie Izzard (one of the first people to spend a Euro in London).
