There is also Eurovision: Come Together, a one-off special which gives the UK a chance to vote for their favourite Eurovision performances, followed by Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light, which will honour all of the 41 songs that would have competed in the 2020 contest in Rotterdam, including the viral song ‘Think About Things’.
