Filmed in Brighton, Olivia gives an interview to the local BBC news channel before the Eurovision Song Contest. There's lovely footage of Olivia strolling around Brighton, although the backdrop of the flats don't give the best impression of the seaside town. The high winds also cause some hair issues!

When asked if she would be disappointed not to win Olivia replies I'm quite prepared to loose, I don't expect to win so therefore I'm not going to be disappointed. Having seen her friend Cliff Richard loose in the Contest twice previously this was a realistic view and as we now know Olivia came fourth behind Abba.
