Douze Points

"A Long Time Ago, Was It?" - The UK's Last Eurovision in Birmingham 1998


Listen Later

On this episode of Douze Points we're taking a look back at 1998, the last year the United Kingdom were on hosting duties following Katrina and the Waves' resounding win the previous year.

From Terry Wogan's dated hosting to Ukrika Jonsson's mishap with the Netherlands, it was a ceremony of many lasts (including the use of a live orchestra) as well as many firsts (such as the crazy results map), and also some moments that some people would much rather forget.
