A Special Announcement from Douze Points - Douze Points

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:30:00 +0100

Last week, on Thursday 4 December, EBU members met for the organisation’s scheduled General Assembly.

At this meeting, Spanish broadcaster RTVE, along with seven other countries, called for a secret ballot on Israel’s participation, passing the threshold of five members required for the vote to take place.

However, the EBU chose to tie this vote to its proposed new rules for the contest, creating a false dichotomy: accept the new rules with no vote on participation, or reject the rules and carry out a vote on participation.

This put broadcasters in an unfairly difficult position, as they could only hold a vote on Israel if they had already rejected the new rules, and they had no guarantee a motion on Israel’s removal would pass, meaning a very real risk that they could reject the new rules and Israel stay in the contest, meaning that we’d be doomed to repeat the exact same scenario in 2026 as we’ve faced in the last two years.

As a result, the new rules were approved and an Israeli delegation will be going to Vienna in 2026.

It has since become apparent that this result was inevitable, as Roland Weißman, director-general of Austrian broadcaster ORF, went to Israel to assure president Isaac Herzog that he would do everything he could to keep Israel in the contest.

And according to Israeli online newspaper Ynet, there was a months-long lobbying campaign carried out behind the scenes involving Herzog and many government advisors to secure Israel’s continued presence in the contest - the contest that we keep being told is staunchly apolitical.

The team here at Douze Points are saddened and disappointed by the EBU’s handling of Israel’s participation, and we believe their actions have brought the contest into disrepute.

The EBU has acted in bad faith throughout: refusing to take action after Israel’s manipulation of the televote in 2024, and then when it happened again in 2025, continuing to insist that the result was valid and legitimate.

When finally forced into taking action by their members’ protests, they promised a vote on Israel’s participation in November of this year, only to cancel it and retable it for the General Assembly a month later, then disingenuously framing the vote in such a way as to stifle discussion.

I have said before that I do not believe the proposed rule changes go far enough to prevent further attempts to manipulate the televote, nor do they hold Israel to account in any way for their attempts to fraudulently engineer a win in the last two contests.

The original intent of the Eurovision Song Contest was the promotion of harmony and unity across a recently war-torn continent, celebrating the human desire to stand together and create music together even in our darkest moments.

Unfortunately, the contest is now choosing to protect the interests of a country that is engaging in genocide: instead of championing the best aspects of humanity, it is encouraging the worst. By turning a blind eye to the horrific war crimes being carried out by Israel, the contest is complicit.

But we don’t have to be.

Following the meeting, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia all followed through on their promise to boycott the 2026 contest if Israel was participating.

We stand with them.

And that means, following this episode, Douze Points is taking an indefinite hiatus.

Unless the EBU changes course, there will be no more episodes from us, because we simply cannot cover the contest the way we would like to without being morally compromised.

Ultimately this was an easy decision to make, but it’s also been a hard decision: this is not the ending I envisaged for this podcast, and I wish it didn’t have to happen like this. I’ve loved creating this podcast, researching the history of the show, getting guests on who love the contest as much as I do to share their thoughts, reactions and predictions.

When we started this podcast over two and a half years ago, I thought I’d be lucky if maybe five or six of my friends listened to it; but I’ve been delighted and humbled that we somehow built a loyal, supportive listenership. I’ve never taken it for granted that you take time out of your day to listen to us, to get in touch, to suggest ideas for future episodes, and I’d like to take this moment to thank everyone who’s listened.

I hope this isn’t the end forever - but for now, it is.

Finally, we want to reiterate our disgust that Israel gets to continue to use its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest to launder its reputation on the international stage while attempting to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth.

We cannot and will not be party to that.

We stand in full solidarity with the countries who are boycotting Eurovision, in the hope that other artists, broadcasters, fans and fan media will join us.

Let our silence be deafening.

Eurovision 1957: The Second Coming - Douze Points

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:30:00 +0100

If 1956 was the Eurovision first started, then 1957 is the year it really started to figure out what it was, says Steven, as he deep dives into the the 2nd Annual Eurovision Song Contest.

It was a year when precedents were set, when rules were tested, and when the scoreboard was just Dave the Intern changing numbers on the big board, nervously sweating because he said he passed it at school but he actually preferred drama, and now he's doing quick maths live to the whole of Europe.

Spoiler alert: Dave smashed it.

As Basel 2025 draws nearer, we wanted to reshare a classic episode, where Steven looks at Eurovision presenters of past to figure out what makes a great host.

Enjoy!

Highlights from the episode:

Takeaways:

The history of Eurovision presenters reveals a significant evolution in hosting dynamics over the years, particularly in terms of gender representation.
To ensure a successful Eurovision, it is advisable to have a team of three to four presenters with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Multilingualism among hosts is crucial, as it enhances the international appeal and accessibility of the contest to a broader audience.
The importance of having hosts with live entertainment experience cannot be overstated, given the complexity of the Eurovision production.

The trend of having a majority of female presenters has emerged as a standard practice in recent Eurovision history, reflecting societal changes.

This week on Bingewatch, Ian and Hannah cover everything from rogue grandmas to Russian spies. Just what you need to get in the Christmas spirit!

Way back when Russia were not at war with Ukraine, they resorted to more discreet tactics... such as poisoning double agents. Unfortunately, Litvinenko garnered a little more press than Putin would have liked, and now David Tennant brings it back to life in the new drama on ITVX.

Lovable family adventure series National Treasure, once helmed by Ben Stiller, is not immune to the Disney+ makeover. Lisette Olivera and Catherine Zeta-Jones take the lead in the 10 part first season of National Treasure: Edge of History, available now.

Chronicling the stories and the legends to grace the famous Abbey Road studios, rockumentary If These Walls Could Sing is now available on Disney Plus.

Comedian-turned-bestselling author-turned-disgrace talent show judge David Walliams hasn't waited long to get back on our screens, as Gangsta Granny Strikes Again! Watch on BBC iPlayer.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio | Harry & Meghan | Plebs | Something from TIffany's

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 05:30:00 +0100

Welcome to Bingewatch, your essential guide to the newest and biggest TV & films across UK streaming platforms, presented by journalists Hannah Fernando & Ian MacEwan. This week on the podcast:

Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro brings us the second adaptation of Pinocchio this year. Following in the footsteps of Robert Zemeckis & Disney Plus, this version on Netflix is not so family friendly, but is it worth the watch?

No doubt one of the talking points of the year will be new Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, which gives a platform to the former Duke & Duchess of Sussex to tell their story in their words. Get ready for the explosion of tabloid headlines!

Popular ITV comedy series Plebs makes a return for one final feature-length bow, as the inbetweeners of ancient Rome brush off their grey hairs and make one last feeble effort to fit in.

It wouldn't be December without a swathe of new Christmas movies to keep us all teary-eyed, but will Amazon Prime Video's Something from Tiffany's be tears of festive joy or Grinch-level despair?
