The Story of Eurovision 1951
The third edition of the contest saw some fraught voting with the winner bouncing between Czechoslovakia and Monaco with the former ultimately winning, and giving them their second win. Some controversy did arise due to the Monegasque entrant forcing a dozen production hands to carry all of his suitcases around all the time.
In case you hadn’t realise this is clearly a joke. April Fools!
