There must be something that you've always wanted to...

.......the one thing that you always wanted to!

Our flight with Scooch took off the day before the BBC 'Making Your Mind Up' entrants were announced. Since then, in our quirky old way, we've Scooched and Scoodled, post, after post, after post, after post of Scoochy nonsense! Our exclusive Scooch interview redefined the definition of interview, holding the record for an interview with just questions - no answers!

Just like the interviewer Ashley in Abba the Movie - we went to a PA in Birmingham and the Eurovision Song Contest Final in Helsinki... searching for answers, unfortunately with no success!

Our hopes were flying high at Helsinki airport, but who did we see.....? Icelandic rocker - Eirikur Hauksson (we were so unexcited we didn't even bother for the mandatory photo and autograph). As we flew back to Birmingham via Amsterdam, even Edsilia's seat lay empty. Feeling not exactly on top of the world, we finally sat down to write....

Dear Jim,

Please, please, please can you fix it for us to interview Scooch?

Yours sincerley,

Melodimen (aged 32 and a half)



Now then, now then, now then.... we prefer this version! It's not the official opening or ending titles, but there are some great head turns, together with the legendary pa papaaa!

......Now we've done it! Jim has fixed it for us!

So 'hows about this then...' the answers to our questions!

1. With the return of the legendary Jim'll Fix It - what would you ask for?

I'd ask for a generous dollop of cash so I could fund a couple of projects I've been mulling over for some time - that or a holiday home somewhere hot and exciting!

2. Have you considered releasing a Limited addition Euro Fan CD featuring Flying the flag (for you) [Double Key change mix]?

I REALLY wish there had been a key change in the song, however the only place it could have gone is after the breakdown chorus and crashing straight into a key change live with no musical support could have been potentially dangerous for the competition. Why don't you all bully the producers to put a key change in for it's album release?!

3. So what is the next step? What will be the follow up single?
(We suggest either The winner takes it all or Every loser wins (to cover all eventualities) - Double A side with Maybe tomorrow - which should've been a single in its own right!)

We'd be keen to record and release a new album, although Warners (the label who released FTF) have first refusal on that..We already know EXACTLY what the next single would be, but it's a secret for now! I guarantee it's fun, upbeat and camp as a row of tents though!

And finally, if we get time to squeeze in a cheeky bonus question...

4. What will you be sucking on, on the way down to Helsinki?

Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to suck on anything during my journey to Finland, although I did have a sly nibble on a Breakway!


Scoodles of thanks to David for giving us the answers!

In fact we're so excited, after a bottle or two of rosé to celebrate, we think we could Riverdance our way through the 'Jim'll fix it' theme tune just as well as this!



.....well maybe we'd need three bottles of rosé just to be sure!
