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

[CooperD]

Watched the first 30 minutes of episode one then gave up. Had it on series record on Sky+ but deleted it.

[rupert the dog]

Rubbish sound, as you said, but also rubbish acting and rubbish plot (?)Won't bother with 2 + 3

[Halb]

I've got it plussed!

[Billyray911]

Sound appeared to be fine on the Iplayer.However It was so boring,I didn't last more than 20 minutes.

[Mastodon2]

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

[Mave]

Glad it's not just me- I have up after about half hour of episode 1.

[Billyray911]

Don't know why,but I gave it another 10 minutes to give it a chance.Woke up two hours later,none the wiser.Thats me done!

[Halb]

Am tempted to delete without watching now.

[Vipers]

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.

Absolute rubbish.

Not a patch on the original 1939 Alfred Hitchcock/Charles Laughton classic....

[Beati Dogu]

I think I'll record it, just so I can delete it.

[fflyingdog]

Well I am obviously in the minority but I enjoyed it...

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

Quite a few complaints about muffled, mumbled sound,

Just like that!

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.
