Eurovision Uncovered looks behind the camera as James Stephenson discovers how the Eurovision Song Contest really gets made – and the unsung heroes who make the most technically complex TV show on Earth.

This week on Eurovision Uncovered, we’re going behind the cameras – to see how the Eurovision Song Contest really gets made.

In Episode 3, host James Stephenson discovers what it takes to produce the most technologically complex TV show on Earth. From the sheer volume of equipment to the tight timelines it’s produced in, Eurovision pushes the boundaries of what’s possible – and you’ll hear from experts who have seen first-hand what engineering Eurovision is really like. James explores the logistics behind making the Contest happen, how each delegation approaches the challenge of staging their entry, and the incredibly complex systems in place to ensure that everything goes right when it matters: live on air to 160 million viewers.
