The BBC made an experiment of this Eurovision Song Contest. The songs were broadcasted from a studio, the audience and the jury were located on another location. Every song had a different stage, the change of set was done very quickly. And thus the never verified rumor goes around that the performances were recorded. For the third time in a row, the same 16 countries participated in the contest. After the casting of the votes it seemed that Switzerland won the contest but Norway called in again and changed their votes, giving the victory to Denmark. Many artists that participated in this contest would have a very successful career afterwards.
