E:16/10/06 Win a Karaoke System

WHAT happens to those dreadful acts that score the infamous 'nul points' in The Eurovision?

Well top new book Nul Points by Tim Moore has the answers - so we're giving away copies and a kareoke machine in this top competition.

Travelling the world, Tim Moore tracks down the various nul pointers in chronological order to discover what they have done since their moment of shame.

He starts with the master of nul points, the Norwegian Jahn Teigen, who has made an ironic career out of his nul point status and released an album called ‘Zero to Hero’, been on a tour called The Toilet Tour and even done business seminars on how to cope with failure.


Tim also travels to Liverpool to meet the UK’s only nul-pointers, Jemini, who performed (if it can be called a performance) in 2003, and finds the ordeal is still a bit raw…

Funny, ludicrous and heartwarming in almost equal measure, Moore even covers the improbable history of Eurovision itself, a towering cathedral of cheese with a scoreboard shamelessly corrupted by cross-border friendship and hatred.

One reader will win the book and this top karaoke machine, with two runners-up also scooping a copy.

What was the name of the UK's only band that scored 'nul points'?

Answer of course is Jemini
