Episode 1 .Totally useless sound mix , most of dialogue muffled , and due to poor acting ,mumbled and grunted
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27116...
BBC said episode 2 would be better , wrong , just as bad , listen carefully and the faders can be heard lifting dialogue then fading back
Last one tonight , will I bother? doubt it

Audio mixing and acting so bad they addressed the complaints on BBC's News at 1 today.

When they say "x number of viewers turned it off", how do they know?

Wife watched it and she was very disappointed.
Every time I looked up there seemed to be someone walking on the moor.

Mrs Noise was one of them. Even with hearing aids & loop amp she had trouble. Got to see the Tommy Cooper dram-doc instead smile

Quite a few complaints about muffled, mumbled sound,

regards,
Jet

I wonder if the problem is that it is reviewed and test screened in an all purpose room with full surround sound.
Maybe they should have a typical family room setup and see if it works in that environment as well.
