First watched : 1975
I didn't have much interest in these light entertainment shows which all seemed much of a muchness but I remember The Shadows doing Eurovision so I must have seen some of this one. For obvious reasons The Shadows were a strange choice to do it; perhaps Cliff pulled a few strings ? The chosen ditty "Let Me Be The One" was instantly forgettable which doesn't say much for the other songs in contention. It was easily beaten by Teach-In's "Ding A Dong" in the Final.
At the time I put Lulu in the same category as Cilla, Cliff, Val, Des and the rest as an interchangeable light entertainment fixture with no conception that she was barely older than say Suzi Quatro.
As public taste shifted the Saturday night variety show was dropped and Lulu's career as a TV hostess came to an end but she maintained her public profile with regular appearances on panel games, occasional returns to the chart and working as a catalogue model for Freeman's.
