      Lots of false information. For example:

      ---> Spain have finished in second place more times than any other country - five in total.

      This is incorrect. Because UK is with the most second places.

      Then, the orchestra wasn't abolished in 1988. It was 1998 the last time that the orchestra was part of Eurovision.
