I certainly agree with both the above about tv, another thing is, especially on documentaries, is that they will insist on repeating what we've already seen (re-cap) before the ad break then when it finally moves on with the subject it's almost time for more adverts!!  :veryangry:

The "Music" has forced Mrs "H" to view every programme with sub-titles :veryangry:

Don't ever go down the "Kodi" road. It is a brilliant for us Ex pats deprived of UK TV as you can watch almost any programme, HOWEVER if you pause ,for phone calls get a drink or wood for the fire a really "helpful" programme description is displayed outlining the plot including twists etc that you may not have seen yet!!!  Luckily Mrs "H" has difficulty reading small text.
Rant over...

Oh dear. You've got me started too.
Does anyone else agree with my opinion  a sound engineer just doesn't exist any more? Back in the days of British Transport Films pride was taken in cinematography and sound, but now I find myself constantly adjusting sound levels. I've known for years American films need a higher volume but I find I have to turn down music, turn up speech and generally adjust the TV volume every time I change channel. I firmly believe there are no sound engineers any more, especially as many programmes are not actually made by the TV companies but bought in at exorbitant cost.
As far as most comedy shows go, if someone held up a board saying "Cheer" I'd hold one up saying "Why?". I'm sure they're not watching the same show I am :no:
Commercial programmes are now an hour of adverts interrupted by bits of e.g. Midsomer Murders.
'Nuff said :veryangry:

You can always tell when the adverts come on - THEY ARE ALWAYS LOUDER THAN THE PROGRAMME!, or so it seems.  And what is it these days with the voices they use? Is there some special school the actors go to where they learn to talk to us as if we are all stupid? I blame Cilit Bang.

Edit: seems I'm not alone @Jerry Howlett

And then they could post on the Happy thread that they'd posted in the Angry thread and felt much better now and were back on the rails again. :P
