Choosing what to watch night after night the flicking through the endless

searching is a nightmare we want to help you on our brand new podcast off the

telly we share what we've been watching

Cladie Aide.

Load to games, loads of fun, loads of screaming.

Lovely. Off the telly with me Joanna Paige.

And me, Natalie Cassidy, so your evenings can be a little less

searching and a lot more auction listen on BBC sounds.

Hello thanks for listening to the Witness History Podcast from the BBC World Service

with me Matt Pintus. Today there was something in the air that night. The stars were bright. A band grew.

In 1974, the Swedish band Abba wore to loot their Way to Eurovision Victory in England.

And 50 years on, millions of people around the world say thank you for the music, from the

group that became one of the most recognizable acts of all time.

So be a supertrooper, take a chance on me,

and gimme, gimme your ears for the next eight minutes

as I go through the BBC archives

and speak to the person who arguably knows Abba better

than anyone else in the world. A very good evening to you and for me David Vine welcome to the Eurovision Song Contest of

1974.

It's the 6th of April 1974 in the Seaside Resort of Brighton in southern England.

It was so tense. I was so nervous that I hardly remember anything other than do you remember that I had to stand up in the bus going from the hotel to the arena because my trousers were too tight.

Yeah, I remember that's very well.
