Boring answer.

It's going to be a hologram of Princess Diana. I hope they don't mix the projector slides up with Tu-Pac ones.

OMG I had no idea until I typed it but I so want it to be this. It would be awesomely bad/good.

[twistedAM]

Never liked Thompson after the homophobic shit he spewed about Carl Lewis.


Apparently theres a medal winner from 48 still alive.

Otherwise Terry Wogan. It's not much of a step up from Eurovision.
