Eastenders spoilt with sound quality

l can't watch Eastenders any more because of the mumbling of the actors and the awful sound quality.
There are quite a few of them who are so bad I just can't hear what they are saying. Max, Joey, Lauren, Jack are the worst ones I struggle with. Lucy and Tamwar are also guilty and it just spoils the viewing for me when you can't hear or understand what is being said.
I have Virgin Media so I can rewind to listen again but you shouldn't have to do that. Is anyone else finding it difficult to hear?

ha, ha, i'll have to watch again UQ just to see that:D
:D HD is bloody scary at times! :eek: Makes me laugh when you think of the old skinny, puny kid Ian of years ago!
I agree with the OP though. EE is the only soap I need the subtitles on for.
classic example, same here;)
I had no trouble understanding Carl and Phil in that scene but Max and Joey were another matter altogether!!! Someone really needs to tell these two to ENUNCIATE! I thought that Carl and Phil were by far the better actors too but maybe my opinion is swayed by the fact that I could actually understand them!
Lol , actors must absolutely hate HD, it's so unforgiving, even their wrinkles have wrinkles ....... and that's just the teens! :eek:
Cameron on Emmerdale is another example.
The problem isn't just a UK problem; I think US actors are prone to the mumbling disease as well.
I always thought it was part of a plot to reveal that he was actually Max's son but I'm past caring now.
Looks like Jack and sounds like Max - and they want us to believe Derek's the father... yeah right!
So he's the evil spawn of an incestuous relationship between his uncles?:eek: No worse than any other Enders storyline really.:D
I had the same conversation last week, but about David's face in Corrie. HD isn't kind to soap actors.
agree there about Phil and Carl. The others need some more training I think
Why should I? I now it could be easily done but hey, I think it's about time something was done about these so called actors who mumble their way through the scripts.
.......but when they pan out, it is usually one person eating and the others drinking coffee.......
Max has his moments. One minute he seems to be speaking clearly, the next he's mumbling something and all I can pick up is the word "babe"
I watch everything with subtitles, I'm not deaf but it helps me concentrate as I'm a bit of a dreamer.
If I don't have subtitles on, I drift off & haven't a clue what just happened.
It's also really handy when the missus is bending my ear about the price of coal or whatever it is she bangs on about.
Mind you, it drives everybody else nuts.
