The BBC has commissioned two special one-off entertainment shows to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest.
Both programmes will dive into integral parts of the competition, documenting the unlucky competitors who scored low in the contest but found success afterwards, and a celebration of why Eurovison can't be replicated.
The first programme, aptly titled The Greatest Show on Earth, will celebrate 25 years since the UK last hosted the contest, with 25 reasons why the Eurovision Song Contest is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.

Packed with Eurovision trivia, this one-off special charts the success of those Eurovision Song Contest entrants who may not have scored enough points to win the iconic competition, but have gone on to score great success in the music industry.
