I love the SBs! (The Broadcast one is one of my favourites, up there with the Head one and the Harold and Maude one. "I like to watch things grow...") By my count there are 24, though - there's a 15-minute one from 2008(?), around the end of the second series, consisting mostly of heavily remixed clips from TEC, and a 60-minute one from 2015.

Eurosong is weird - once every ten years or so the people in charge think "sod this, let's just send someone singing a decent pop song and doing it well", and we finish in the top three. Then they think "well, *that* didn't work" and go back to making identikit Europop by numbers, badly, and come in the bottom ten - and the year after that they think "that didn't work, better try harder!" and come in the bottom three. (I think that's this year.) This year's song is just awful - it's a bunch of different bits welded together, apparently by someone who wasn't actually listening to what they were doing. I'll still be watching, though - probably rooting for Latvia.

Allow me to be the first to say: thanks Christian. I have some of these on CDR but no CD player. And they are in Liverpool. And I'm in Spain. So this is a welcome move from JM via Madden x
