What do you want to know?
Ask Scooch a question
The band, which has recently got a record deal with Warner Bros, has been quite busy lately with the preparations for Helsinki. Their song for the Contest, Flying the flag (for you), has been recorded in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Danish and Bulgarian. This very is unusual when it comes to entries from the United Kingdom so this year Scooch is definitely doing every thing they can in order to bring the country back in the top of the Eurovision Song Contest. An effort which seems to be matched by a growing interest among the British press and the population in general.
Do you want to know how they felt when Terry Wogan in the first place didn’t announce them as the winners of the national final? Do you want to know about their plans for Helsinki? Do you want to know what's on offer for landing? Or do you have another question? BBC is inviting everyone to submit his or her question which can be done using the form you find here.
As a part of the so-called Big4 United Kingdom is automatically qualified for the final on 12th of May 2007.

I love Scooch's song. It's fun. I doubt it will do that well but ultimately...who cares? It is not for any other European country to tell su who we should send nor are we obsessed with winning., Frankly if a country the size of the UK actually needed to win the ESC to bolster its national pride I would eb extremely worried.
Lets all just relax and enjoy the show.
OK We'll agree to disagree...!!!
Now for some beers , ice cold German Weissbeer ! God are somethings worth looking forwad to!
yes but scooch knows its cheese ireland thinks its songs meaningful lol
Where as Scooch is Swiss Cheese , too many holes in the song and the cheese, I thought we'd be mature cheddar !
ireland song is typical 80s sentiment, walls falling between countries europe one state etc its cheesier than scooh, my mums irish and she says it gorgonzola
Does that mean the flag will be at half mast come May 12th at 11.00pm GMT 
True, at least then we can both drink our sorrows and have something in common !
if its bottom of the pile at least it will be comfy lying on dervish
I take it thats Millstreet your thinking of and you would'nt be far off, it was a horse stable Well it remains to be seen , will Europe vote for a Europop number that sounds like the Tweenies or a Trad song with a mature sound? BTW I have no problem bashing Ireland, I would have liked to have gone back in time and robbed the lyrics of All Kinds of Everything and burned them .!!!! 
I wont say I hope it get's nil points, I genuinley wish UK and all other countries best of luck but it's going to be bottom of the pile !
i personally dont like the uk entry this year but no matter what it will score more than dervish i can bet my life on that
there were but the one that came secong sounded like an irish ballad so 90s, and you seem to like praising ireland so much remember that you pulled out in 1983 and that you hold the record for the most shameful venue, imagine inviting the people of europe to the beautiful country of ireland and hosting the contest in a cow shed , now thats class
Just a shame you cant enter a song without gimmicks like Imani or Katrina. Come on, sexual innuendo is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Ireland,Greece,Turkey and other countires have all entered songs that reflected their culture and were proper compositions, not something that sounds like it was drummed up in five minutes on the back of a cornflakes box by a OAP with hearing impairment! As for being boring, it won three times in a row.... surley you must agree Garry a lot of the songs in the MYMU were good and a lot better than this tripe !
@ mystic england have never entered, and ireland bored us all 3 years running
UK have only won the contest 5 times
67,69,76,81,97
Even though England won 6-7 times in the past
does not mean that they actually deserved it to win..
If the UK ever wants to learn a thing or two they should take a leaf out of our book, after all, winning seven times and all that.....
True actually it does sound like that now that you say it. But it can still stand by itself, the song now has a better ending and Kathy's voice stands well through the song.
no it just sounds like the background music to titanic
@ Peter Brodey
I have heards our entry, while not a fantastic song, it does.nt sell out to commercialisim like scooch have done. We kept our song in line with our heritage, what has Scooch done?
Just to say again, in case anyone misreads what I have said, this is all light hearted conversation, arguing and banter. I know I am a moan
Please stop moaning!
I really believe that Scooch will do really well in Helsinki and the song will be a huge party hit all over Europe this summer.
Best of luck Scooch.
I think its a great fun song and hope it does really well x
Anti Bloc Voting -
Have you heard your own entry before you call ours drivel.
I thought ours was all bout the different countries, but yours is specifically about Eurovision "The Curtain has been Raised. And Europe's All One Stage".
Anti Bloc Voting? Ireland have given UK 8 points for the last 3 years. And we gave you 7points in 2006, 2004, 12 in the 2005 semifinal (when you didn't qualify). Isn't that Bloc Voting?
I think Scooch don't have a chance to win, but I do not feel a last place. I think midway would be a good position.
I don't have to hear all versions !!! I don't like it at all !! Sorry UK 0 points !!
Mark Eastwood - no, the camp and cheesy image is the image of non ESC fans and ESC haters - we fans should not prove them right and support quality, fighting this worng and outdating image of the ESC.
@ Gary : Lol - funny question, best britsh humor
I have two questions. Why, and what for?
I have not met daz, I just didn't like his in-your-face attidue before, and I cannot stand teenage life. I have disliked him less when I heard about his dad
william have you met daz, we were in athens last year and were talking to him and he was one of the nicest people i have met in a long time he freely gave his time to chat and have pics taken, a really nice bloke,he really does love eurovision and after thy way some people treat it you have to give him credit for that,
