I'd really love an alternative broadcast which shows the set changes rather than the postcards, I'm sure the people making the postcards are very good at what they do but they're almost designed to be as bland as possible, I'd much rather see a well oiled team perform crazy feats to get the stage set.

I know this is not the right place for this but english is not my first language.

How is "have" the correct verb here? Shouldn't it be "has"? Like, the crew is the subject, and it has 35 seconds.

I'm trying to understand what I'm missing here, because I'm sure BBC did not make a mistake

I saw this in Malmo in 2013 and it was pretty incredible how fast the set changes were done. The other thing you don't see is just how close the cameras are to the performers.

Eurovision post videos of the technical blunders that happen during the live shows (some related to set changes) with side-by-side comparisons of what should have happened. An interesting watch! https://youtu.be/KeVaE8ldqfE

Same with tradeshows: I have many times been on tradeshows on buildup days. It is a huge mess, full of crates and packaging. Next day, everything is glorious and neat. Just for 3-4 days of 'show'

Oh, so that's real sand. I thought that was camera trickery. No way someone would be crazy enough to dump real sand on a stage while someone's performing live.

Confirmed, that helps a lot to deal with stress!

Honestly this sounds way more interesting than Eurovision itself.

Maybe they should have prevented the blunder of a genocidal nation using their show to launder their image, but what do I know
