1956: The Very First Eurovision

Little is known about the first ever Eurovision Song Contest... until now.

I'm Steven Perkins, your Eurovision expert and host of Douze Points, and in this episode we continue our journey through the history books and go all the way back to where it started. In 1956 there were no Big 4, no voting results, and barely any televised record of the event, so what the heck was it all about, and who won?
