underwhelming

Exactly the word I just used Over There @ the beeb, having struggled through last night's broadcast on the replayer. Some of it (Dillon/While/Hewardine & Reader/and - sad to say - W:C) was cringingly awful. Tams/Tabor/S&B were best, though I really wish I hadn't bothered. The recording quality sounded muffled and SoH seemed considerably out-of-tune at points.

OTOH, as Guest above remarks, the LJ broadcast later was stunningly good.
