Bearing in mind that there were apparently professional cameramen around as well as professionals in the control room, it does rather beg the question.
If the team could not cope with unpredictable dancers and if they were so obsessed with arty shots, they have to be immensely grateful that they are never asked to cover a live sporting event. Camera-work that bad, that 'arty', would, almost certainly, not go down too well with your average footy or rugger fan, for sure. |

Before they start, they all need to repeat this mantra until it sinks in "We are not broadcasting either Top of the Pops or a car chase." Followed by an equal number of "Always show the feet."

Just shocking, particularly when the dancers weren't on the central raised area of the stage.
How can you judge the dances, when you can't see parts of them? The BBC should be better than this. |

It was truly appalling, but I do actually feel sorry for the camera team who are only working to the director's orders but getting all the flak. It must be a huge undertaking to try and cover Wembley and to work your socks off and then get all the criticism can't be very nice
![]() It was dreadful coverage altogether though on Saturday - loss of Michael's dance in Scotland, terrible music production, desperately poor coverage of the dancers. The production team have a lot to answer for. Even if SCD is merely 'entertainment', it was pretty dire. |

Totally agree.
This is a classic case of the Producers/Directors being so busy playing with their toys that they forget about the end result. It has nothing to do with Wembley and everything to do with the production team. We have the same issues in the normal studio but the problems were just more extreme because of the size of Wembley. I urge everyone to complain direct to the BBc because they won't give a damn about what is said on here. It has got worse this series and is spoiling the whole show. |

The Producers/Directors re so in involved in their own perceived 'cleverness' that they seem incapable of seeing the show through the eyes of a normal viewer. They probably congratulate each other on a job 'well done' have a few drinks and never even look at a VT of the actual transmission at all. If they do, then they would surely realise what an awful job they do week after week. Sound balance, singers who cannot be heard, audience reaction that drowns any comments, arty camera work that might look good on a job application, and so on and on ... SCD succeeds despite the Producer/Director, not because of them. You might even argue that BF does not use an earpiece because he has little or no faith in them being able to provide any worthwhile guidance. He could even be right! |

Absolutely infuriating. Camera work completely ruined the show for me.

It was like Billy Smart's Circus on LSD .There was so much not right about it. For the first time ever, I didn't watch the results show as I'd seen enough.Just switched on at the end to see who'd gone.On the plus side, I thought the Saturday dancing was a high standard and really enjoyable. |

Were the shots programmed on a computer? If so, would explain why there was no dancing in some shots as a computer has no "human element" that might make a different decision about shot choice. |
