To coincide with Eurovision season, we bring you a special episode, in which we compare and contrast six Eurovision runners-up from six decades, exactly ten years apart.

Who will tickle your fancy? Will it be the Swiss chanson, the worldwide hit from Spain, Israel's singer before she got "world music" credibility, the United Kingdom's game showbiz hoofer, Belgium's dark horse "tone poem", or Azerbaijan's perspex box?

In DJ Trev's absence, Eurovision expert (and former Eurovision correspondent for Gay Times and Attitude) Chris Higgins joins Mike Atkinson and Nick Parkhouse to take a detailed deep dive into six decades of the world's biggest music show.

(Please note that Chris was battling significant audio problems during this recording, so despite painstaking post-production repairs, his contributions aren't as sonically HQ as we would have liked.)
