At BBC Sport, bouncing between Glasgow (nearly) and Salford. Any rare views are very much my opinion alone.

BBC Alba's still going, by the way. Also, if you wind back to the start of the show on the iPlayer you'll see their lovely, chilled-out version of the BBC News countdown.

BBC One Scotland has mostly dispensed with fiddles and traditional music in recent years, but if you're still after that (and a never-ending party going by previous years) then BBC Alba is all yours.
It's time for your Hogmanay reminder that the real Scottish action for The Bells is over on BBC Alba with Cèilidh na Bliadhn' Ùire, and it's geo-unlocked for a worldwide audience! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live...

If tomorrow never comes ... well, that defeats the object of the whole Ronan Keating new year show, surely?

Barbara Pravi must have looked at multiple Eurovisions since she came second and go "I'd have won that one". In French, obviously. #ESC250
