It can be a cooking program or a battle program, but still the producers ruin it by inserting an incredible noise onto the tape. Who wants to have their noise inserted on top of the Battle of Stalingrad ? Surely the noise of action is good enough.

When people are speaking, to drown out their voices with some insane row is downright disgusting. Sometimes an old gentleman is sitting in his room relating his experiences in WW1 or WW2 and the cretins who produce the program drown his frail voice out with some infernal racket. Other times even the program presenters commentary is drowned out by this attitude to destroy everything a person says with some unimaginable racket.

We have Gordon Ramsay sitting at a table speaking to his clients in a restaurant and the noise inserted on the program is so great that you cannot hear what they say.

On many occasions, I have to kill the program to stop my brain from blowing a fuse trying to listen to what is being said.

What a development of modern education, to drown out people's speech with a variety of insane sounds when it is simply unnecessary and ignorant to do so ! This obsession to ruin a program with noise is not apparent when the Queen or Prime Minister are talking.

The world of silent films where the piano goes berserk has long gone, we can actually hear peoples voices and the sounds of action today providing the program producers will not drown them out with a variety of incredible noises.
Well, that's not Virgin's fault, but they do provide subtitles that might help you to understand what people are saying under the cacophony of sounds!
