I've seen a lot of people confused about the Dutch commentary and translation suddenly cutting in for the last 20 minutes (at around the 88 minute mark on the iPlayer, just after the UK jury results are announced)- seems for some reason BBC didn't mention this or offer any explanation to viewers, either on air or the iPlayer, which you would have expected them to do as it's understandably confusing, especially as it drowns out what the hosts are saying at some points (the reason is the last 20 or so minutes of the BBC broadcast are missing, and the Dutch one is all that exists, but they can't expect many viewers to know that).
Considering the iPlayer has a lengthy blurb including information about why France withdrew and mentioning controversy about the Italian and Portuguese entries, you'd think they'd have put something there.
