More complaints of poor sound quality, mumbled and slurred lines in BBC Drama.

Have they not learnt from the last lot of complaints? rolleyes

They are going to learn lessons. Yeah right


Brucie leaving Strictly.

Claudia Winkleman to take over?

Is this really worthy of a POV comment? rolleyes


Revenge of the Egghead.

Proved a big turn off to have CJ as the Egghead. Tone too hard.
We're right to experiment with the format.


The Guest List

Disappointing. Felt flat. Poor imitation of Blankety Blank.


Eastenders Who Dun it.

Praise. For actors and storyline.
Wooden acting from new born pup.

Eh? They captured the Easter message and the whole series has been a delight.

What is she on?

    Yes, 'cos it's not like it's the most-watched programme when it's on. Oh, wait.... :rollingeyes:

    Correct. Complaints were stupid. I've never ever seen the show before and I could tell straight away, just from the clips, that the 'personal comments' were not meant to be taken seriously.

    So you're just giving a precis of the programme for those who didn't see it. But if we didn't see it, why would come into a thread about it? Kinda pointless really, don't you think?

    It returns from a break more fluffy and inconsequential than before. Hard to imagine how they managed it.

    Move over Jeremy and let your brother front this abysmal token show - It IS a bloody joke after all.

    I was just wondering if its on iPlayer - I'll maybe try and catch it at some point if I remember. I saw Escape to the Country and Monkey Planet were on yesterday but hadn't thought to check the listings for later on (Monkey Planet being the last show to appear on that page of the EPG). It used to be on at c. 3-4pm I think?. I wish they wouldn't move it around the schedules quite so much - maybe I should email and complain lol.

    There's a suggestion on the PoV messageboard that she was referring to the series "Rev". Makes sense, though I'm sure she didn't actually say that!

    Looking forward to seeing Danny Cohen YET AGAIN trying to tell us WE WILL like and watch The Voice
    I DON'T AND WON'T
    the arrogance of the guy is breathtaking
    As for Jamaica Inn they tweaked the sound for the last two episodes with little or no effect
    Apparently they will " learn lessons" over this !!
    Seemingly THATS that then
    How many thousands of pounds of OUR LICENCE MONEY WASTED???
    POV should just be taken off air
    Its the Tv equivalent of a toothless Alsatian
    Can't bite but will give you a good gumming !

    Points Of View never touch the real issues such as Snooker coverage, I only watch it for comedy purposes now.

    Yes same with me.

    I went to check another recording and saw it was on.

    I didn't see any publicity about it at all and with JV not being been on his Radio Two show for the past fortnight it didn't get a mention there either.

    Its just a box ticking thing, Not really listening to viewers. Snooker fans are better off complaining to Barry Hearn. Only thing is the boss of the Snooker wonders why everyone complains to him on Twitter instead of the BBC. Think its because the BBC never listen.

    WTH was the puppy revival :o .. he would have killed it keeping it on it's back like that. So glad I stopped watching this rubbish years ago. I note the acting is still as bad as ever :D


    Not sure what that woman was on about as Rev (someone said it was connected to that) was not mentioned :confused: I think Mr Vine left out a vital line of his speech for that clip :blush: I wonder if someone will complain about that next week :D

    As the programme producers have been cherry picking the messages for the past four decades, with the object of "providing a balanced content of perceived entertaining trivia and plenty of BBC PR puff," it has always been impossible to take it seriously.

    "and there you have it" as Mr Vine often says.

    Of course he has never actually said anything like that whatsoever. That said, approx 6m per week do and did; and it was the most-watched show every week.

    Of course, they've never actually said that; ever. It's just that they know how to make TV and the most complainers don't. Hence why most of their "complaints" are easily countered with logic and common sense.

    I just caught the show on iPlayer - No she didn't say that. That viewer video was played directly after a clip of Phil Mitchell in Eastenders apparently (along with text quote saying as much) giving the kiss of life to a stuffed toy :confused:

    I've a feeling they were comparing the resurrection of the pup with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. :)

    The more perceptive would realise, that they only choose to air the "complaints" that they can "easily counter with logic and common sense."

    Any complaint which might prove truly embarrassing, will never get on the programme.

    So many people seem to be oblivious of this fact.
    The whole programme is really just a bit of BBC PR fluff, with the odd "we got that wrong" over something trivial, to give an appearance of even-handedness.
