To disprove the accusations, Eric Morley put the judging panel's ballot cards on view[6] and described the complex "majority vote system".

[13] In 2014, BBC Radio produced an audio documentary as an episode of its The Reunion series, bringing together Jennifer Hosten, host of the competition Michael Aspel and several of the women who had disrupted and protested against the show.

Shortly after its release, BBC television produced a further documentary Beauty Queens and Bedlam which interviewed the protestors, organizers, hosts and Misses Grenada, Africa South and Sweden.
