19a Setters Error?

Thomas was one of television's pioneers, acting for John Logie Baird in a basement studio in the BBC's "Broadcasting House" complex.[7] In 1956 he was the first UK commentator in the First Eurovision Song Contest. He continued to be associated with TV in the United Kingdom until his death in 1991.

It didn't say commentator on the 195 contest - just that the contest started in 1956 - just asked for commentator -Norton definitely.

[Anneyelland]

Sorry that should have read 1956.
