Love it or hate it, it’s nearly time for the Eurovision Song Contest. And with Britain being a democracy, it’s once again up to the public to decide who should represent the nation at this year’s competition in Belgrade. Viewers could select from six acts, with each act trying to win over voters with a performance on BBC1 between 7-8pm. Eurovision veteran Terry Wogan was on hand to introduce the hopefuls, with assistance from co-presenter Claudia Winkleman. Eurovision – Your Decision averaged 5.1m (23.7%), giving a TI™ score of 96. It then returned at 9:30pm with a further half-hour to announce the voting results, with 5m (23.5%) tuning in to find out that former binman and X-Factor 2005 runner-up Andy Abraham would fly the flag for Britain on 24th May.

The Masterchef grand final attracted a slot-winning audience of 5.1m (21.4%) to BBC2 between 8-9pm last night as Bristolian James Nathan was crowned 2008 champion, giving an excellent TI score of 216. This was near-identical to the final of last year’s competition (called Masterchef Goes Large, but with the same format), which culminated in an audience of 5m (21.4%).

US drama series Dexter, starring Michael C Hall, made its debut on ITV1 on Wednesday, and a start time of 10:35 is about as close as any import has come to penetrating the channel’s peak-time schedule. Dexter is about a serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood pattern analyst, whilst satisfying his murderous tendencies by killing some of the city’s less desirable characters (from other serial killers through to drink drivers). It originally aired on premium cable network Showtime in the US, where it has now been renewed for a third season. FX has exclusive first-run rights in the UK, and the first episode attracted 356,900 (2.53%) in July 2007 to become the channel’s highest rating programme of the year. This same episode attracted 1.9m (14.6%) on its ITV1 debut.
