Creative inertia?
 

They seem to be copying quite a lot even from the previous series. Friends and family nominations and Big Mouth/BOTS in the garden (more amateur with the HMs in the house hardly visible) both being used in the last series. The explosion in the number of secret tasks seemed to gain momentum with the Tree of Temptation, but now it's just got tiresome. And of course the production had remained largely the same on CH5 with few changes, the transition shots of HMs between scenes being kept now for the last 4 series.

I notice that now the numbers are down Sara can finally make herself heard.
This enables her to discuss her bum and her face - all the really important things which she has been prevented from discussing for 10 weeks.

"the transion shots".
I hesitate to question an obvious expert like yourself who is clearly au fait with all the technical jargon. However, I must ask for the meaning of 'transion' since it does not appear in any dictionary.

transition

Thank you.
