The League Of Gentlemen - Royston Vasey and The Monster From Hell

Now that Eurovision is over, I want you all, especially the Americans, to take a good hard look at how the voting results turned out when people boycotted the event.

In the UK, the viewing figures were down about 2 million people compared to last year. 2 million people made the conscious decision to not watch and not vote because of Israel's inclusion.

The final results of the public vote, Israel came in first place in the UK and got 12 points. Because the only people watching and voting were people who backed Israel or at least didn’t care one way or another.

This doesn't matter. It's a music contest. The boycott was still the right thing to do because it is just a show at the end of the day, and the viewing figures have more impact than the results.

But it is also a good object lesson to show you what happens if you boycott a vote over something that does matter. Choosing not to vote in, let's say, a presidential election will have similar results.

There is no way to verify that those 2 million people didn't watch because of the boycott. In fact, it is far more likely that the UK figures were inflated in 2023 because it was the first time it had been broadcast from the UK in 25 years and we had come 2nd (a rarity) the year before. It was the most watched final in the UK since modern records began. It's actually an increase on 2022.

“Film historian-interviewer Gregory Mank got to the root of the mystery behind the actress’s curiously bird-like quality in her performance as the Bride: Lanchester’s conception of the part was based partially on observing the swans in Regents Park, particularly in the way they “hissed” when provoked. Staring wide-eyed, jerkily reacting to every movement around her, it’s a tightly coiled performance of sheer instinct and energy. The Bride’s “look” is a classic ’30s concept, more of a hairstyle than a makeup. Lanchester’s natural red hair was teased up in an unworldly, fright-wig style, a wavy white streak suggesting a baptism by lightning. It’s a cartoonish design, perhaps too over-the-top, but executed with Jack Pierce’s usual finesse and artistry.” –  Universal Horrors: The Studio’s Classic Films, 1931-1946, 2d ed., 2011, p.127
