It's not often you stumble across a gem like this, which we found while visiting the website of Danmarks Radio (DR). Here DR has put together a collection of many historic TV and Radio shows to view/listen to under a section called Bonanza. The shows that appear here have a cultural significance whether it be old news reports, music competitions or drama series.

Amongst this treasure trove of TV gold, DR has also uploaded every edition of the Danish national selection, Dansk Melodi Grand Prix from 1978 to 2004 for you all to view. So why not take a look and relive the moment when Mabel was chosen to represent Denmark in 1978 with Boom Boom right up to when Thomas Thordarsson won the national final in 2004 with Sig det' løgn (Shame On You).

So click HERE to relive Kirsten & Søren, Birthe Kjær, Olsen Brothers, Tommy Seebach and many many more performing on stage at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix over the years.

As well as the Danish finals, DR have also published a programme they made about the 2001 edition of Europe's Favourite TV Show, which was held in the Parken stadium in Copenhagen. DR produced a spectacular show, which is still known as the biggest ever with an audience of 38,000 people watching the show live in the arena and millions more all over Europe.
