Airdate: 2025-May-16

Episode summary:

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, as 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 Ratovision trophy… ok ‘glittering' might be a strong word. Anyway, along the way we'll see Thomas Edison rock out for America, Poland's entry also try and 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'll win the coveted* trophy? Tune in to find out… *coveted by Rattus – we're not sure about anyone else.
