Eurovision Final
Saturday, 8pm, BBC1
All eyes were on Italy at last year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam as rock band Måneskin scored the nation’s first win since 1990. Sadly, it was a very different story for the United Kingdom, as James Newman received zero points for his song Embers.
Ahead of this year’s competition in Turin, though, there’s cause to be cautiously optimistic. The UK’s entry – Space Man by Sam Ryder – is being touted as a possible contender. However, we face strong competition from Sweden, Ukraine and Italy, who could pull off the first victory by a host country since Ireland in 1994.
Graham Norton will be back in the commentary box this year to provide wryly affectionate commentary on the evening’s events as 25 countries compete for Eurovision glory.
