A decade of social change swept the World, but the world of the Eurovision stayed exactly the same, right up until the UK decided that enough was enough and that something had to be done.

The contest changed from one singer, to multiples, and then back to one singer again and, for the first time, the public were given a hand in the choosing of the song, with sometimes h.i.larious concequences for both the contest and the Royal Mail!!

As usual, clicking a year on the left will take you to that competition!
