A Song For Europe
The 1988 A Song For Europe contest, the United Kingdom's national final, was held on 25 March, at the BBC Television Centre. It was hosted by Terry Wogan. The theme music and title sequence were the same the one used in the previous year, a revamped Te Deum. An orchestra was used, conducted by Ronnie Hazlehurst. This orchestra was off stage, as was the tradition for UK national finals. The contest was broadcast on Radio 2 and BBC 1. The songs were previewed on both Wogan and on BBC Radio 2.
