Results
The following tables reflect the officially verified scores given by each jury , adjusted after the transmission . During the live broadcast , France failed to announce the 4 points they awarded to Yugoslavia , an error overlooked by the scrutineer , Clifford Brown . Thus in the live show , Norway were placed 17th and Yugoslavia 18th . After the broadcast , the scores were adjusted and the two nations swapped places , with Yugoslavia 's score being adjusted from 6 to 10 points , moving Norway down to last place . In terms of points gained as a percentage of maximum available , the winning UK entry from Brotherhood of Man is statistically the most successful winning Eurovision entry since the introduction of the 'douze points ' scoring system inaugurated in 1975 [ N 1 ]

Teach-In's victory in Stockholm the previous year gave The Netherlands the right to host the contest for the third time.
