The Eurovision Song Contest National Final season is not quite over. Tonight the United Kingdom will select their representative from a field of six candidates. Forty-one of the forty-two participating countries have already submitted their songs, only the UK's selection remains. The travel weary esctoday.com team is now in Maidenstone covering the show. No webcast has been announced, but esctoday.com will cover the broadcast live.

After all of the performances are complete the televoting will begin (numbers can be found below). The BBC will make a break for other programming while the voting proceeds.Any votes submitted after 21:00 will not count but the senders will be charged for the call or text nevertheless.
There will be two rounds of voting. The first two acts from the initial voting round will perform once more, then the lines will open again for a second voting round that will decide the final winner.
BBC warns that provisions have been made to prevent any attempt to alter the result by block voting.

UPDATE
Our on-the-spot team in Maidenstone reports that- much to the disappointment of their fans- Bucks Fizz will not be performing after all tonight. Mike, Cheryl and Jay are present alright but Bobby G is not as he has a previous engagement in Ireland which he would not cancel. Stay tuned for more news on the British final here.
