Eurovision 1976 - Prize and winner reprise

Here are the final 10 minutes of the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest, held in the Hague, Netherlands. After a vote which turned into a triumph for the British, who thus won the contest for a third time, UK entrants Brotherhood of Man return on stage to take the contest prize from the hands of host (and past winner herself) Corry Broken and perform, once more, the winning song "Save Your Kisses for Me".

"Yugo-SLAY-vee-ya????? Why do they repeatedly say "England" - IN DUTCH & IN FRENCH when they mean UNITED KINGDOM. Dont u know there is a huge difference??????????

[tasosk3]

I know this must sound like a huge sacrilege to a Scotchman like you, but it's true that, for a lot of people outside the UK, "British" and "English" essentially amount to the same thing - not because of lack of knowledge, but because, you know, English culture is the one that's most visible to people abroad (from London to the English language itself)...

whos the closet lesbian?

[tasosk3]

You're very mean, young man, aren't you? (slaps wrist) Anyway, it's Corry Broken, thw singer who had represented the Dutch in the first three contests (and even won in 1957). And I agree her styling leaves a lot to be desired...

There is an error with this scoreboard - Yugoslavia had received ten points at the end, not six, therefore placing them second-from-last (and rather undeservingly, imo). So strange that this is the same hall as in 1980 - a much better set, and somehow a much cheerier audience.

[tasosk3]

You're right, but it's not really the fault of the person who managed the scoreboard - it's just that the French spokesperson had forgotten to announce the French jury's 4 points to Yugoslavia (the mistake was corrected after the contest, and so subsequent record books show the correct sum for them). A somehow grave mistake really, since by the end of the contest everyone thought that Yugoslavia had finished last! (when it really was Norway that did so)

The World and Eurovison was so simply then what a great song and summed up the UK at the time

Apparently, and there is evidence to support this that 1976 was the most happy year in British history, hottest year ever, we won medals at the OG, high levels of prosperity and the smallest difference between the richest and the poorest in the country. Plus we won Eurovision. Sadly those days are long gone.

didn't know about the stage back the singers! wow ! and yeah! a great winner of Eurovision,save your kisses for me ^^!

@lwsmackie The guy says "Inglaterra" and "Gran Bretaña" here. Kind of means the same for everyone else outside the UK.

But don't worry, we know it's not strictly exact. It's like saying "Holland" instead of "the Netherlands".

This was the first Eurovision I saw, aged eight. I thought the UK would win every year after this. How wrong I was!
