what's another year?

Well, for one thing - it's too long to wait for next year's Eurovision!
The 2008 semi and grand finals will be available on DVD in June 2008.	Tim Moore's superb book 'Nul Points' shows that while its easy to laugh at those who get zero points, it's even easier to appreciate them.	The Eurovision Board Game (oh yeah!)
Congratulations!: celebrates 50 years of Eurovision. Two volumes of CDs or two volumes of DVD. 1956-1980: 28 winners and 22 favourites (moral winners) CD 1956-1980: 28 winners and 22 favourites DVD 1981-2005: 25 winners and 25 favourites CD 1981-2005: 25 winners and 25 favourites DVD
	If the Congratulations collection isn't to your taste, see if you can get a copy of this Swedish double CD - Eurovision 1956/1999 which contains all the winners from 1956 to 1999. What a pity, you miss the Olsen Brothers impersonating Cher's throat warble thing... but on the up-side you get some of the best losers. Like Volare - which couldn't even win Eurovision in 1959 - but was a global hit once Deano got to it. Eurovision Vol.2 The Story of Eurovision Also, check out:

And, This Is Eurovision which is described by a reviewer as "a good collection" though it "focuses too much on English and not enough on winning entries." I like the subtle dig that English entries are a different species to winning ones! Very astute.
