3 Norway 7 Michael Ball 11 Olivia Newton-John. Long Live Love, how I would of loved to get physical with her All 3 correct for three points plus 0.5 Australian Female Singer bonus ... they've provided several good'uns over the years (Kylie and Danii Minogue; Natalie Imbruglia; Holly Valance; Delta Goodrem and of course tommo's favourite the peerless Sia) And another 0.5 bonus is in order for naming the song Long Live Love - not to be confused with Sandie Shaw's excellent Number 1 of the following year with the same title !

4 surely that has to be Sandie Shaw with puppet on a string, must of been late 60's as I sorta remember (trying to) singing it in our back garden. wasn't she the one who sung in bare feet?
17 logical guess I hope. Are they the only UK entry to get nul points?
19 wasn't Uncle Bulgaria there, even England wouldnt of had pinky and perky or the Muppets as an interval act so it has to be the Wombles

4 Correct, 1pt plus an Essex girl 0.5 bonus (she from Dagenham) A bit on the skinny side but somehow sexy. A bit of a b!tch apparently, was shagging her manager who was married at the time. Made some good records (Always Something There To Remind Me, Girl Don't Come, Long Live Love). Got 'em all on vinyl.
17 ..... and the first to finish bottom ! 1pt I didn't think it was that bad, actually - it wasn't their fault that the sound checker didn't do his job and it came out a semitone higher.
19 Correct, 1pt plus 0.5 bonus
