Live from Switzerland
Scott presented the programme live from Basel, surrounded by Eurovision fans, delegations and broadcasters preparing for the first semi-final.
He described the city’s transformation, with flags, fan events and contest branding appearing across the centre.
The show connected with listeners travelling to Switzerland and those organising watch parties at home.
Remember Monday
Scott reported on Remember Monday’s preparations and the response to their rehearsals.
The group discussed the practical demands of Eurovision week, where interviews, technical rehearsals and social events were layered around the need to protect their voices.
Scott continued to emphasise the strength of their live harmonies and the importance of keeping the performance recognisably theirs despite the scale of the production.
The first semi-final
The programme previewed the countries competing that evening and highlighted entries that could surprise viewers.
Scott explained the qualification process and encouraged listeners to judge the performances rather than relying only on pre-contest betting odds.
Regular features
The Easiest Quiz and Birthday Game continued from Basel, giving the outside broadcast the same structure as a normal breakfast programme.
