1) Euro-Vision, the originally named Belgian entry by Télex in 1980. Steals blatantly from Te Deum, and flopped dismally, probably because the singer looked far too old for the song - a parable for some of this year's entrants?

2) The presenter in 1957 sitting down with her assistant to start the voting. Que les choses ont changé, as Céline Dion one sang.

3) Katie Boyle holding up a big stick in front of the score-board in 1960, as if we can't read it.

4) Voters in the 1973 contest, when the EBU obviously had the contest mixed up with the Gymnastics Section of the Olympics.

5) Ingvild Bryn in 1996 with a hi-tech scoreboard, marred somewhat by the fact that she appears to be surrounded by loo-chains.

6) Marie Myriam crying after winning in 1977, presumably because she has to stand up in front of the whole of Europe in that awful dress again.

7) Céline Dion undergoing a similar crisis in 1988.

8) Johnny Logan after winning in 1987, when everyone was still happy to see Ireland win.

9) Carola seemingly attempting suicide in 1991, but in fact she's celebrating her victory.

Behind all these, we have the 1992 winner, the aptly-titled Why me? by Linda Martin from Ireland.

10) Bana bana, the somewhat ethnic Turkish entry by Pan from 1989, with a rather hyperactive conductor. I bet he gets road rage easily. Only got five points.

11) Boum badaboum, the ridiculous entry from Monaco in 1967, sung by Minouche Barelli. Tuneless, meaningless and irritating - before its time really. Came fifth.

12) Baby baby by Nicole and Hugo, Belgium's, erm, attempt in 1973. This is the second Belgian cock-up we've been shown. Do SVT know something about the voting for this year's contest? No, they're just making a reasonable assumption. Wogan is fascinated by this clip - I'm surprised he doesn't remember it.

13) Kuin silloin ennen - Finland 1969. The singers are called Jarkko and Laura. I think their surname is Ofarim.

14) Power to all our friends - Cliff Richard, 1973-style. Is style really the right word? You can see why he didn't win.

15) Only the light - UK 1987, and our worst position to date. OK, these omens are getting a bit too scary.

16) Waterloo. Need I say any more?

17) Jij en ik - Bill van Dijk, Netherlands 1982, backed by some women who clearly couldn't make up their minds as to whether they were Mr. Einstein or Mrs. Einstein.

18) Ding-a-dong, the Dutch winner from 1975. In Stockholm. Hopefully not an omen either.

19) Romeo, Norway 1986. So gimmicky it could be performed by Linda Wagenmakers.

20) Mata Hari - Anne Karine Strøm, Norway 1976. Quite why she had to borrow Deirdre Rachid's sunglasses is beyond me. Mind you, seven points wasn't that bad by Norwegian standards at the time.

21) Making your mind up. The guys in Bucks Fizz tear off the girl's skirts - 1981. No doubt the whole of Croatia took note.

22) Alice Babs, Sweden's first entrant in 1958. Not much interesting to say about this one - well of course not, it's the 1950s!

23) Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham backing Cliff in 1968.

24) Three Turkish backing vocalists with runny noses in 1980.

25) Paul Oscar, making fetishists everywhere smile in 1997.

26) Dana International dressed as a parrot and singing Diva. There are several remixes of this song, this is the Out of tune live version remix.

27) A conductor in 1970, I think it's the Spanish one.

28) Dana Int. falls over in 1999.

29) The late Louis Neefs, Belgium 1969.

30) Danijela strips in 1998. A continent cheers - a defining moment in Eurovision history for many.

31) Doce, singing for Portugal in 1982. My all-time favourite - no sniggering at the back!

32) To the sounds of last year's Israeli entry, Happy Birthday, we see the German entry from 1958, showing that gimmicks are maybe not that new.

33) Mouth & MacNeal, Netherlands entrants in 1974. They weren't actually a couple, were they? The thought of them making out gives me the creeps.

34) Lulu, who actually looks younger now than she did in 1969.

35) Two conductors hugging in the same year. Don't ask me which ones, I can't be bothered to find out. Presumably neither of them is the Norwegian one, as they came last.

36) Silver Convention, the 1970s version of the Rounder Girls, singing their way to an undeservedly low 8th place in 1977.

37) Boom boom boomerang, Austria 1977. Looks quite clever now, shame nobody thought so at the time.

38) Charlotte Nilsson pretending she's got a beard last year. I thought they weren't going to show her.

39) Lill Lindfors, presenter in 1985, another early inspiration for Danijela and Doris.

40) The aforementioned Eden, last year for Israel.

41) Ding-a-dong again. A Dutch gimmick? Never!
