Did anyone else think that sound and vision were not in sync in Britain's Tudor Treasure: A Night at Hampton Court?
I thought it was just Freeview HD so tried Freeview SD and that was the same.
Enjoyable and interesting programme, even David Starkey was tolerable.

Thanks, I have had someone else say that a neighbour reported the same fault.
Except for Worsley's blatant lie at the end that William III retained the old part of Hampton Court out of respect for Henry VIII.
The reason he didn't knock the rest down was because he ran out of cash, as everyone with even a passing interest in the palace knows. 'Respect' for the Tudors had nothing to do with it.
I'd also take issue with her opening statement that Hampton Court was "Tudor England's finest building". I suspect that Greenwich, Richmond and Nonsuch would've given Hampton Court more than a run for its money.
It's a catastrophe for posterity that almost nothing is left of the great Tudor palaces or prodigy houses, like Theobalds and Holdenby. Take away Hampton Court and we'd have very little idea of the domestic architectural grandeur of the Tudor age.
Much of continental Europe kept their Renaissance palaces. In England we couldn't wait to get them down.
