welcome to the group.

The shows are always highly edited, whole rounds are taken out as
happened with the show you refer to.

I always score as I transcribe and I think I've yet to find a show where
the scoring was equivalent to that announced by Nicholas.

It's interesting that it seems most people don't notice - I often get
told I can tell if my shows are edited by checking the scoring - but
that would be no help at all.

the shows I saw recorded actually went for about 40 minutes, so that's
almost two thirds taken out to edit down to the usual 28.
