Your correspondent Eddie McIlwaine writes of a new documentary about the
Eurovision Song Contest (Belfast Telegraph, May 6).
The programme will state that Cliff Richard was cheated out of winning the
Eurovision Song Contest with the insipid Phil Coulter imposition — rather,
composition — Congratulations.
Eddie reports that the documentary claims that General Franco of Spain had
the vote interfered with.
The upshot of it all was that Congratulations was beaten to the title by La,
La, La.
It's alway reassuring to know that bloodthirsty, evil, brutal and crazed
dictators sometimes had their good points too.
