Webber sceptical over Eurovision chances

The theatre composer has agreed to write the new entry and is also searching the UK for an act who will perform it.
However, Lloyd Webber has now insisted that Eurovision fans should not take the grand final too seriously when it is held in Moscow on May 16.
"We're not going to win it, let's face it," he explained. "I don't think that's possible, but at the same time we could have a laugh along the way. It's Eurovision. I think secretly everybody watches it and secretly everybody has a bit of a laugh about it."
The 60-year-old added that recent UK entrants had failed because their songs were "absolute and total rubbish".
The launch of Lloyd Webber's search can be seen on Eurovision: Your Country Needs You at 7.10pm tonight on BBC One.
