Live from Turin: Day One

In a special documentary made by James, he explores what's gone wrong in the 25 years since the UK's last Eurovision victory

In this bonus episode, James shares a documentary he's been working on over the last few months. The UK is arguably one of, if not the most successful country in the Eurovision Song Contest. Alongside its five victories, the country has a further 18 top three results in the Grand Final of the world’s biggest music competition. But since 1997, that’s a full 25 years ago, the UK has failed to add another victory to its already impressive collection. Instead, the nation has found itself more often than not at the bottom end of the scoreboard; finishing last overall five times, two of which with the dreaded nul points – zero points. Its broadcaster, the BBC, has seemingly tried everything to change its fortunes around, but over the last quarter of a century, results inside the top 10 have only come their way three times, and the most recent time was over a decade ago. So with help from artists, TV producers, journalists and more, let’s figure out why the UK hasn't won the Eurovision Song Contest for 25 years.
