Further details
Inspired by Dougal's enthusiasm, and driven on by his rivalry with Father Dick Byrne, Ted decides to enter the 1996 Eurosong Contest. To this end, he and Dougal 'borrow' a turn from an old Eurosong hopeful and enter it as their own.
With inspired lyrics, a jaunty tune and the right attitude, both Ted and Dougal think their offering stands a good chance.
However, as so often before, they are proved utterly wrong...
