Björn from ABBA's Eurovision highlights

BjΓ¶rn Ulvaeus has guest edited Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Today: here's what he said about Eurovision

BjΓ¶rn Ulvaeus has guest edited Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Today and his programme included a lot of insights and encounters about Eurovision.

Hear him talk to one of the British jurors who in 1974 gave ABBA's Waterloo "nul points" - and doesn't regret it! He also discusses with Erasure's Andy Bell, Radio 1's Adele Roberts and UK Eurovision presenter Rylan Clark the appeal of the contest and ABBA itself to the LGBT+ community.

Bjorn also speaks to Martin Γ–sterdahl, executive supervisor of Eurovision, about whether it can move to be a fully global competition.
