This is running again tonight as a finale to what would have been Eurovision Week. The clues so far is that it hasn't appeared on the Eurovision channel before and it's in a coastal host city.

 

*prayer circle for Riga 2003*

Last week he referred to it as a 'VERY special contest'. No idea what that might mean, but Brighton fits the coastal city clue and would tie-in nicely with ABBA winning the "Come Together" show last night?

Plot twist: it's Tel Aviv

He also tweeted about nothing 5 hours long as it's a school night so that with the other clues means 1974 is pretty likely imo.

Nancy Drews on the case!

Have never seen the 1974 contest and aside from Sweden, Italy and the UK, I don't know any of the other entries so I'm quite excited for this!

So obviously in 1974 Eurovision was in quite a different cultural space but other than Waterloo - Italy, Ireland and Netherlands were the big highlights!

Spain and Greece brought the bops too! Sweden and Italy the clear standouts of the year however.

 

Definitely need to visit the 70s and 80s over the summer, as I've only watched 1990 onwards.

 

Hopefully next week will be 2003 or 2008! (or 1999 but that's a long shot)

It was a great Eurovision evening. Much better than I had anticipated.

Back on tonight and I’ve got a strong suspicion we’re going to Tallinn 2002!

I want 2003. Just for the car crash of the UK!

I initially thought that first clue was three things that make rain (water, sky and pressure) so "Rainmaker" ergo 2014 but that blurred picture doesn't scream 2014 to me...

RIGA 2003 THIS IS NOT A DRILL

so, how does this work?

 

Premiers at 8pm, use #EurovisionAgain on Twitter!

It’s 2003!! In decent picture quality!

I guess the convo happens on twitter.

Did Turkey invent the ethnic banger?

Gemini were somehow WORSE than I remember them being!
