If you watch one song contest this year, then make sure it’s the Eurovision Song Contest! But if you watch two, then look no further than this Rat-o-vision special, where Rattus dons his sparkly, golden waistcoat for a glittering affair that brings you a host of historical bangers from around the world as our international acts battle it out to win the glittering Rat-o-vision trophy. OK, ‘glittering’ might be a strong word. Anyway, along the way, we see Thomas Edison rock out for America, Poland’s entry try to achieve world peace as well as a win, a bunch of Renaissance men sing an Italian power ballad, German nun Hildegard von Bingen seeking to inspire everyone, Greece’s entry aim for the stars, Elizabeth I somehow representing both England and Spain, and three Egyptian pharaohs sing a song from beyond the grave! Who will win the coveted* trophy? Tune in to find out... *coveted by Rattus – we’re not sure about anyone else.
