What to watch

It's that time again. Get ready for crazy costumes, strange songs and mad musicians at the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, that international extravaganza of entertainment. This year it's being held in Malmo in the south of Switzerland with 52 countries taking part from Albania to Yugoslavia. Also included, as it has been since 2015, is Australia.

The rationale behind this was and remains hard to fathom. What can we say: it's Eurovision, a lot of stuff is strange. We just have to go with it, and it does give us even more reason to be invested besides simply enjoying the cavalcade of kitsch. This year's Australian entry is One Milkali (One Blood) performed by Electric Fields. Last year, Australia was represented by Voyager and the song Promise and finished in a respectable ninth place, with 151 points.
