Katie Boyle |
DEBUTS None |
The good old BBC delivered a distinctly low-budget production.
No grand auditorium (or even small auditorium), the show was broadcast
from a couple of BBC studios. Katie Boyle compered the second of her four
contests, but she was not the first to present twice as France's
Jacqueline Joubert beat her to that distinction two years
earlier.
The contest was blessed with several soon-to-be stars, none of
them representing their homeland: Esther Ofarim sang for Switzerland, Francoise
Hardy for Monaco and Nana Mouskouri for Luxemburg.
The voting ended in controversy when the Norwegian jury was
recalled at the end of the voting to check it's votes. The second time around it
awarded Switzerland one point instead of three, and Denmark four points instead
of two, thus reversing the placings at the top of the leaderboard.
