In light of the Eurovision Song Contest returning to it's first-ever host nation, as Switzerland prepare to host next year, Benjamin Windibank presents an in-depth history on the creation of the Eurovision Song Contest and the events leading to it's first edition on 24 May 1956. In this illustrative documentary, he goes into the very detail of the history of the European Broadcasting Union, the origin of the Song Festival and the BBC's dirty trick which led directly to the commissioning of the Contest.
