Eurovision superfan and one of the hosts of the 2023 contest, Hannah Waddingham invites you to join her for a special celebration to mark 50 years since ABBA’s glorious victory with Waterloo at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest.\n\nThis was the night that set Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid on the journey that has included domination of the pop charts here and across the world, the Mamma Mia! stage and film phenomenon, and their acclaimed recent comeback with the technological triumph of the Voyage concerts.\n\nNow, as we mark the 50th anniversary of that win in Brighton’s Dome, Hannah introduces a special screening of the entire 1974 Eurovision Song Contest final, which also features Olivia Newton John as the UK entry and The Wombles as the interval act. She also gives us the benefit of her unique Eurovision insight to share some advice on how to enhance your own evening’s entertainment by keeping an eye out for some particularly marvellous musical moments in this show originally presented by Katie Boyle.
