Eurovision 1982: Ein Bißchen Harrogate | Super-cut with animated scoreboard
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 05. 2020
- An edited down version of the (less amazing than last year’s) 1982 Eurovision Song Contest in Harrogate with a scoreboard using today’s technology. Nothing but a fun lockdown project.
This edit will give a flavour of the evening (24th April) with Terry Wogan’s UK commentary. There was a bit of work required to get a decent video and audio source matched together, so I’ve used uploads by JUGOVIZIJA and TheEurovision1992 - thanks to them and apologies for the sometimes obvious switching of sources!
In the edit there’ll be some of the intro, a flavour of each entry, and then the scoring sequence edited with a scoreboard built and designed using technology used since 2003 (when the scoreboard became reactive and reordered when points were awarded). Special mentions (edits) this year go to the Intro - which I kept almost intact - and to Belgium for their music box. War was about in the world in 1982 - the Falklands had been invaded 22 days earlier, Europe was filling up with nukes, Israel would invade Lebanon in June - perhaps there’s no wonder why we needed Ein Bißchen Harrogate.
I have friends from the town and I’ve spent time there before and the BBC’s decision to go to Yorkshire remains surprising. The last time the contest was hosted in a settlement where the population was similar to Harrogate’s was Cannes in 1961 (using 2020 figures). I’m a fan of Harrogate, but I wouldn’t say it was in the same league as Cannes! Smaller places would go on to host the Contest (Millstreet), but at this time, it remained remarkable and so I’ve kept the images of the town in the edit.
DESIGN AND THE BOARD
Well this was the first contest (in this series) with a clear design ethos. And the ethos was somewhat Edwardian? Not great for motion design of course, but we had a logo that was used in the scoreboard design! Not on the song name straps that were overlaid live, though. Incidentally, the style of these were borrowed right from Europe’s coolest show - Top of the Pops. No coincidence: the show’s Producer, Michael Hurll, was TOTP’s Executive Producer at the time.
The Edwardian typeface (which goes with Harrogate’s raison d'être) is called Korinna and was originally made in 1904 by the German foundry H. Berthold AG. Nice poetic link there to the outcome. This version, for computers, was remade by Ed Benguiat and Vic Caruso for the International Typeface Corporation (ITC) in 1974. I’ve retained Dalton Maag’s (licensed) Aktiv Grotesk font for the numbers and the series branding of course.
My board uses the same logic as 1981, not used in the actual contest yet...songs are ranked by points, 12s, 10s, 8s and then their position in the running order.
TRANSFER NEWS (source: Wiki)
OUT: France - TF1’s head of entertainment, Pierre Bouteiller, saying, "The absence of talent and the mediocrity of the songs were where annoyance set in. Eurovision is a monument to inanity”. There was an outcry in France and they would return with a new channel in 1983.
Greece - ERT withdrew the song after it was revealed that their entry was a cover of a folk song, and therefore violated contest rules. A fine was paid, eek.
INTERVAL ACT
I’ve repeated my trick from 1981 and used the images of the Yorkshire countryside and Knaresborough over song 18. Rather peaceful, innit.

36:30 from Austria "Germany 1 point" Legendary .... BRING THE OLD VOTING SYSTEM BACK WITH ALL COUNTRIES ANOUNCING ALL POINTS
"Germany 1 point" is an absolute mood.
One more than Luxembourg gave them
@@terrybaker8156 indeed - everybody seem to forgot that
Clelia Ruesga like we can't see you and Rene are the same person......
What about Germany 0 points in this Eurovision😂
36:23 for quick reference!
45:04 Is small, but its honestly one of my favorite voting moments in eurovision history. The first time Israel gave Germany 12 points, the gasps from the audience and Nicole's reaction.
And Germany giving Israel 12 points in exchange :)
why
@@lucaswallo8127 because not even 40 years before Germans were doing a genocide on Jewish people
instaBlaster...
@@zalkkareita9017 Germany gave the runner up 12 points...
There is no historical reason...
By the way... it was the only time Germany gave Israel 12 points till 2016.
„Ein bisschen Frieden“ is a so deep wish, that my tears are always running while listening to the song.
I am from Austria and I am so embarrassed by the low score from our jury. But in the 80's Austria, Germany and Switzerland loved to hate each other. Stupid rivalry. I think this winner is one of the all-time best.
Bagel. You have nothing to be embarrassed about here. Especially, when considered against the nil points from Luxembourg. At least Austria acknowledged the song.
When you consider today, the UK could have the world's no 1 singer, singing the greatest song ever in the ESC. We wouldn't get any points due to the political voting. Or as l put it, ' When good neighbours, become good friends' & 'punish your enemies'. The annoying thing is though, we help pay for it, and get insulted every year.
People forget that eurovision isn't just a song contest, it's a European cultural event. Especially for the host country, and nominated place where its performed.
So don't feel bad. Today it's worse scoring wise, and the songs instantly forgotten.
A little peace is 39 years old. And we love it still. The great Terry Wogan was spot on when he stated we wouldn't forget this song. He was right.
So be of good heart, and safe.
Greetings to thee from Belfast, Northern Ireland. 🇬🇧🇦🇹
@@robertmcqueen289 Hi, thank you finding me post. Austria acknowledge Germany in the 80's by snubbing them and vice versa, I guess. But your point about the UK, I think it's not true. It's a British thinking that Europe hates them and doesn't vote for them anymore, but honestly, I happen to think UK's entries the last couple of years are too safe and mediocre. Nice background music but nothing more. And let's not forget how the Terry Wogan's comments made the Britons look with animosity at Eurovision, and many artists wouldn't consider participating an option. That last UK entry that I really liked was the Electro Swing song in 2015, which was staged a bit too cheesily then. Before that I loved Bonnie Tyler, who sang out of tune unfortunately and then we have to go back all the way to 2002 to find a really strong UK entry. (2009 was good too but not so relatable for me). UK should blame BBC but not political voting.
Because of Switzerland Germany didn't win 1981.
Maybe this was the reason to give Switzerland zero from Germany in 1982.
But after Switzerland gave 0 to Germany in 1981, they gave 12 in 1982.
Funny fact... after Luxembourg gave 1982 zero points to Germany, they gave 1983 12 points to Germany.
From zero to twelve like Switzerland one year before...
I'm from Austria too but this has nothing to do with "stupid rivality", this is a jury who gave the points not from televoting!!!! By the way Austria gave many more points to Germany than Germany to Austria in that period!!!!!!!!!
Danke stimmt 😍
I love the moment when she begins to sing in different languages in winner's rehearsal :D
She was the first to sing in several languages, but Spain was the first to sing the reprise in 2 languages in 1968.
Goosebumps!
"Heavens to Murgatroyd! They'll probably invade Austria now next week!"
Terry Wogan: Germany gets one point from Austria, they’ll probably invade it by next week?
Hitler: Been there, done that
35:52 Yugoslavia's first-ever 12 points
A clear winner and deservedly so, I've seen Nicole sing it in all the languages before but never knew she did it for the winners reprise. Goosebumps! Thanks again! 💯
Prior to 2016 I would have also been asking "Ou est Harrogate?", but now I know it's a very lovely town, although one warning, if you want to walk around Harrogate, you have to have iron thighs - it's very hilly.
Spain singing a tango in UK during Malvinas war is ICONIC
Nicole was really the best that year.... totally deserved to win....Its in my top 3 best songs ever sung at Eurovision..
I think the song is a bit overrated.
It's a good song for sure, but I don't think it deserved to win, maybe second or third place.
Everyone is pointing how Austria gave only 1 point to Germany, when Luxembourg was the only country that did not give Germany any points. That was more disgraceful of them.
That 6 to Norway from Luxembourg was doubly gratifying - it meant Norway both outdid their score from the year before AND from when Jahn Teigen first competed!
Ein Bisschen Frieden as the backing music for the pictures of Yorkshire is just so fitting. I went there for a holiday recently and it is just beautiful. I would recommend it
The 1 point from Austria is 1 more point than Luxembourg awarded Germany
Not an exciting vote but a very satisfying result. My points for 82:
1pt Portugal
2pt Switzerland
3pt Luxembourg
4pt Sweden
5pt Cyprus
6pt Spain
7pt Israel
8pt Belgium
10pt United Kingdom
and finally
Germany 12 points
I loved a lot of these.
The 0 points to Finland is one of the biggest injustices ever in ESC. Such a daring, rocky and original song by the standards of 1982. One thing is important to notice. The 0 was a result of a public vote. But the jury in the Finnish final consisted of experts.....
Sometimes crap is crap
@@ponyclub3198 However, what is crap for you might be songs loved by others. I know there are many ESC-fans who think this is a great song
1982 used exclusively jury votes.
Brilliant done this supercut version of the voting of the this old shows. So exciting for me as a Eurovision geek & fan to watch. Congratulations!! Give us much more!!
Âna pomajnklîvost se pa dâ zamêrkat. Napovedovavka jê mêva ovîčn žînski gvâs îno postavo. Zakâ dêvi se nîso izôgnavi tâki têhnični oprêmi, da je zgvêdava kâkar, dà nâ vi kâ bi řâda bâva: Môna Vîza a pa Vaventîna Teřêškova ?
Love watching these!! Thank you for all your brilliant work :)
Glad you enjoy it!
I might be biased (I went to university in Leeds and often visited Harrogate) but I don't understand why this contest doesn't get more love! The production is much more modern than the contests either side. The set is designed for television and works better than the theatrical stages of 1980, 83 and 84 (1984 in particular might be a pretty stage but it's a disaster in terms of camera placement!).
The designer was interviewed in that week's Radio Times (there's a beautiful photo of the set model which shows how it all fitted together). The idea was to fit the staging around each act so that a small intimate song like Norway's has a small intimate stage while a bigger performance gets a bigger space.
The TOTP graphics are fun and it's great to see the commentators in action before each song.
The standard of songs is perhaps not the finest, but there's two big international hits among them - Germany and the UK.
And Harrogate might be small but it's not as if it's in the middle of nowhere. It's right beside Leeds, the third biggest city in the UK!
It's one of my favorites
I think it has a good reputation as a strong year for many reasons. Definitely better than the previous uk hosting
Belgium ... was a voice ... and an absolute beauty .... and a great song too ... also Im Greek ... Anna Vissi was stunning
I love this! But I miss the knowledge you provide in your later editions 😊
Ich war damals 10 Jahre und seit dem Tag großer Nicole Fan. Das war einfach wundervoll. Sie ist sogar von Israel eingeladen worden und ist dort in einer Kaserne aufgetreten. Das war Gänsehaut pur.

Cyprus best song and singer
A strange year with a clear winner but my others faves not doing as good.. Norway Portugal and Cyprus.. never understood the appeal of the Suisse entry not to mention the awkward performance… Belgium and Israel are ok up there… but I loved Norway
when in 1977 the dominant music was this: czcams.com/video/9ZqqvrWCs3Q/video.html .... the songs of these competitions are for laughs!!!!!!
I'm not sure about that headband thing that Jan Leeming is wearing. She looks like she is about to break into a rendition of the Charleston.
Luxemburg 0 to Germany??!?
Fantastic video, thanks
Top 3 in 1982 should have been
1. 🇳🇴 2.🇩🇪 3.🇦🇹
🇸🇪 ======12 POINTS FOR YUGOSLAVIA!!!!MY DEAR YUGOSLAVI!!!!
my score would be 12 points to Germany, 10 points to Sweden, 8 to Switzerland, 7 Israel, 6 points UK, 5 Austria, 4 Spain, 3 Cyprus, 2 Luxembourg 1 Denmark
This truly was an awful year. Any complaints I made about 1989 can be swiftly withdrawn. My points - EDITED:
1p 🇮🇪 Ireland
2p 🇹🇷 Turkey
3p 🇳🇱 Netherlands
4p 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
5p 🇦🇹 Austria
6p 🇫🇮 Finland
7p 🇮🇱 Israel
8p 🇨🇾 Cyprus
10p 🇩🇪 Germany
12p 🇨🇭 Switzerland
Yea this didn't fizz at all...and the presentation really felt like step back too.
@@thereorderboard it's a shame the BBC staged such a lackluster show. At least they more than redeemed themselves in 1998.
@@JeSuisRene They did - they regurgitated their typical studio setup into a slightly animated but very small stage. The hottest it got was the green effect on the Turkish backings. I’m assuming they either had to work with the limitations of the venue, or just didn’t care enough. Considering the political and economic era, probably the latter.
jan leeming ???? jan gobshite
Mistakes. How can Jan leeming get Cyprus mixed with Switzerland...
She also got Germany wrong points 10 instead of 12. ...even though score Board get it right....
And Wogan didn't get to grips with scores given by Israel to Germany. And vis versa. .
I have a theory why BBC created such a low budget production resembling something that would shame the USSR. They had staged the contest 6 times beforehand in an 18 year period and by 1982 thought that they would more than likely have to stage ESC at least once every 4 years. It’s like they decided to give themselves 1982 off. If ESC 1982 were a supermarket it’d be ALDI or Lidl.
If you want to host outside any big city, this is the price you have to pay. Where is Harrogate indeed.
Oi - don’t diss ALDI - it’s one of the best supermarkets here 😂
The BBC had nothing to prove. 1982 is a very professional, friendly contest with a classic winning song.
Rubbish! This was a great hosting year.
I'm tired of Israel coming to mess up the ranking of the best Europeans.
What a strange remark...
Israel was a worthy 2nd place and would also have made a good winner. Great entry.
