If music in a dramatic production is appropriate, then I can live with that - at a reasonable volume, of course - but what is very annoying is that no documentary can seem to do without background "mood" music. And some of that music is very inappropriate indeed.

Furthermore, some music is used over and over again, for different documentaries - as though the production team have absolutely no imagination whatsoever.

Think of "Psycho" and Bernard Herrmann's wonderfully appropriate music - and then also think of "The Battle Of Algiers", with no music whatever apart from what is happening around the camera at the time of filming (and some distant drumming and ullulating from the soukh). And then think of the 1,001 TV programmes that use, say, a Moby track for no other reason than that it fills in some sound between and behind the voices. TV as a foam-filled mattress.
