Love it or hate it, the Eurovision Song Contest has not only redefined Europe, it has redefined music. Conceived in 1956 as a great televised musical event which would bring peace and harmony to Europe, it has since launched meteoric careers and made hits of songs such as Waterloo, Volare and Boom Bang a Bang. It has also bred an annual hotbed of political intrigue, racial rivalry, allegations of bribery and plain old sour grapes. In this programme, first shown as part of BBC2's evening of TV Hell last summer, Abba, Sandie Shaw, Cliff Richard and many others sing while Katie Boyle, Bucks Fizz, John Peel, Michael Ball and Johnny Logan try to explain that special Eurovision "ring-a-ding-ding".
(This year's contest begins 8.00pm BBC1)

LThe Labour Party has failed to win four general elections. Former deputy leader Roy Hattersley believes that unless Labour understands why it lost in 1992, it may never win again. In this series of three programmes he gives a witty, personal and critical account of events from his time in the Wilson and Callaghan governments, through the period of "civil war" and near-destruction of Labour, to the fight back under Neil Kinnock.
The Long Retreat. In the opening programme, Hattersley traces the development of his beliefs from boyhood in Sheffield, entering parliament after Gaitskell's call to "fight again", and becoming a cabinet minister under Callaghan. Director David WRolfe
