Subject: RE: Back ground Music, WHY?
Hi CS

You are on the button.

My wife and I are no longer of tender years and we are slightly ( and I mean slightly) hard of hearing.

We don't need the subtitles but we do find it difficult to make out dialogue that has background music running beneath it. Why do we need background music when it is a dialogue scene??

The BBC are trying to save money...here is one way I would suggest - do away with unecessary background music. We even get it on news bulletins !!!

Whilst on saving money they should do away with all the trailers and advertisements. They are getting more and more lengthy and numerous.

I agree with Joe though some scenes are enhanced by the soundtrack....but please not with a dialogue scene.

Cheers
