Like most big programmes on TV these days, there is usually just as much entertainment in the Tweets about them.
And for the Eurovision some people came up trumps with their comments about the contest.
Not only have people been taking the absolute p*ss out of it but there have also been tributes paid to the late, great Sir Terry Wogan.
