So join us from 7:15pm for our Schlag den Star freeforall watchalong. This episode’s contestants are German TV chef Tim Mälzer and musician Sasha, not of Encore Un Fois fame as I originally thought (that was Sash!) (and not this one either.) Announced musical acts include THE Herbert Grönemeyer and also ZAZ and Sigrid!
So if Song for Europe on Friday isn’t enough Europe for you, grab a mic and come join us for five hours on Saturday night.
John Humphrys is leaving the Today programme – cheerily admitting that he should have done so “years ago”.
At least one person won’t be happy that he’ll continue to present Mastermind.

However, BBC Studios have lost the rights to make Mastermind. They’ve gone with a joint bid from Hat Trick and Hindsight, who will make the show in Northern Ireland.
The reports say that Hat Trick and Hindsight plan to “bring the show back to its roots”.
Wonder if this means they’ll undo some of the changes of the last few years?
