Bingewatch Eurovision 1957: The Second Coming - Douze Points
If 1956 was the Eurovision first started, then 1957 is the year it really started to figure out what it was, says Steven, as he deep dives into the the 2nd Annual Eurovision Song Contest.
It was a year when precedents were set, when rules were tested, and when the scoreboard was just Dave the Intern changing numbers on the big board, nervously sweating because he said he passed it at school but he actually preferred drama, and now he's doing quick maths live to the whole of Europe.
Spoiler alert: Dave smashed it.
