Postcards
[edit]"Due to the strike by the BBC camera staff, and lack of time to organise the contest, this is seen as the only Eurovision where there were no postcards between songs."
1) It is not the only ESC without postcard introductions. In fact, all Eurovision Song Contests prior to 1970 didn't include them.
2) The reason for their absence is give above as strike by the BBC camera staff and lack of time. However, the Wikipedia article on Norway 1977 says that the reason is Norway's and Sweden's delegations' complaints about possible misuse of their contestants' images taken in a night bar. eurovision.tv says :
"Another problem surfaced during the event week, which resulted in no postcards being shown between each entry in 1977. The ones filmed at an evening party in a nightclub had to be cancelled for some delegations' fears of not being properly understood by the audience. Instead viewers at home were treated to shots of the audience, with some looking more excited than others! Footage from the party was ultimately broadcast as the interval act. "
These different versions should be harmonized with respective sources. --2001:A61:349C:E501:8CFD:BCA8:A1C:2FC9 (talk) 17:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
