Eurovision rewatch: The Hague 1980 (20:00 BST)

I see Eurovision Again didn’t manage to arrange for him to not pull the cord out of his microphone.
 
I didn’t know Ryan Stiles was around in 1980
 
Pretending to tap dance. Should be banned. Alright song though.
 
The lack of enthusiasm in the Finnish intro. They’re practically begging for last place.
 
Doing a piss poor job of playing the flute as well. Assuming the instruments were recorded back then, which they might not have been, you’d think they would have got someone to do a proper job.
 
Hang on, Theater and Cinema?! Was there some theme this year?
 
This is probably my least favourite from the late 70s-early 80s German golden period, but it’s still pretty good.
 
Noel Edmonds. And, soon, Adolf Aston’s brother.
 
I didn’t know that Roy Orbison represented Portugal at Eurovision.
 
This is excellent. I knew Mouth was holding her back.
 
As is the case with all Dutch female singers, Maggie MacNeal has completely different real name: Sjoukje Lucie van 't Spijker.
 
Would that rainbow costume have been gay rights related, or just a pretty pattern?
 
Introducing the song in Gaelic. I wish they would send a song in it one year.
 
Telex is great. I know they’re taking the piss, but they’re doing it so well.
 
I assume that clattering is the entire audience heading to the bar.
 
Let's go for:

12 - Portugal
10 - Netherlands
08 - Belgium
07 - Switzerland
06 - Ireland
05 - Sweden
04 - Turkey
03 - Germany
02 - Spain
01 - Norway
 
You’d think that if Eurovision Again were insisting on fucking about with the original broadcast then they could shove a recap in there.
 
12 Netherlands
10 Belgium
08 Luxembourg
07 Germany
06 Sweden
05 Switzerland
04 Portugal
03 Greece
02 Ireland
01 Italy
 
More groups should get their dancers to dress up as broccoli.
