    There is Newswatch but that only covers news obviously. In the nineties there was a show called biteback on which people criticised BBC programmes and spoke directly to executives but that finished years ago.

    I think I remember Bite Back. Was it a daily morning show on BBC1? That was good from what I can recall.

    Biteback was monthly, on Sunday afternoon. I think you're thinking of Open Air.

    Ah yes, you're right, it is Open Air I'm thinking about.

    Why did you lie about that? :confused:
    No reply. Now there's a shock; or probably not :)

    But I'm sure he'll be back next week to tell some more.

    All together now 'We're right, You're wrong' Last in the series.

    :)

    Complaints about sound in the film Interstellar? Eh?

    Oh no not sound issues again?

    Life Story background music too loud.

    Beeb Response: We did it on purpose


    Great British Railway Journeys.

    Music too intrusive.
    Beeb Response: Music is too repetitive to sound like a train.

    We're right, You're wrong.


    New Tricks

    Poor Sound Quality.
    Beeb Response: It's a church you gimp, sound resonates. It was a stylistic choice.

    It is an industry wide problem and the Beeb is trying to solve it.

    Beeb R&D looking into giving the viewer control over the sound.

    Where have we heard that before? rolleyes
    Could take 2 to 5 years to rollout. rolleyes


    Ofcom Investigation into Eastenders Rape.

    Over 90 people have complained.


    Secrets of the Castle.

    Praise.


    Songs of Praise (again rolleyes)

    New format. Some people don't like change.
    Some people like the change.
    Beeb Response: Time for change.

    Some religious people talk about the show.
    They like the change, they are cool, religious people who are down with the kids.
    Item went on for way too long.


    Sky at Night Special: Rosetta Space Probe.

    Praise.


    That's it for this year. Tune in next Spring to hear the Beeb finally admit they are wrong, and we are right.

    The sooner that background sound reducing technology is introduced the better.

    They should use the same technology that can remove voice tracks from music so that you can use them for Karaoke songs.

    That is never going to happen. Yet again we are told to stick our views up our backsides >:(

    How many years have people been complaining about the sound? It was even covered on BBC Breakfast the other day.

    I note they never came back about the Peaky Blinders complaint. Well that is no surprise. If the BBC cannot explain it they ignore it >:(

    I've really enjoyed Life Story. I think the music choices have been inspired.

    You bet it did. I thought it was supposed to be OUR POV not those of vested interests. The whole programme needs to be put out of its misery and the viewers shown something worthy of a 10 minutes slot...... maybe Tom and Jerry or the potters wheel.

    I did shout an expletive or two when one of the religious bods said that "You can't have too much faith on TV""

    Because, as stated, "It's an industry-wide issue".
    Life Story background music too loud.

    They did not say that; stop lying.

    Not they did not say that. Ironically, unlike you, the BBC has to stick to facts.
    It is an industry wide problem and the Beeb is trying to solve it.

    Beeb R&D looking into giving the viewer control over the sound.

    Where have we heard that before? rolleyes
    The industry as a whole is looking into the issue
    Could take 2 to 5 years to rollout. rolleyes
    If you think you could solve it quicker, please go ahead.
    Ofcom Investigation into Eastenders Rape.

    Over 90 people have complained.
    That will be a complete waste of time. The findings will be the BBC did nothing wrong.
    Songs of Praise (again rolleyes)

    New format. Some people don't like change.
    Some people like the change.
    Beeb Response: Time for change.
    For very valid reasons; ie the changing face of Christianity and increase in other variants,etc.
    Some religious people talk about the show.
    They like the change, they are cool, religious people who are down with the kids.
    Item went on for way too long.
    Possibly.
    They should use the same technology that can remove voice tracks from music so that you can use them for Karaoke songs.
    Do you not think that, if it were really that simple, they'd've sorted it by now?

    Every January in the late 80s and early 90s, the BBC bosses would take criticism/pretend to listen/puff up the BBC.
    See for Yourself

    BBC One London, 3 January 1988 20.00

    Last year the BBC received around a thousand million pounds from the licence fee. It was your money. How was it used? Tonight's special programme, introduced by the Chairman of the BBC,
    Marmaduke Hussey , is your chance to find out.
    Extraordinary Facts!
    Did you know that it took 30 miles of cable to cover the Open Golf Championship? That a television studio burns as much electricity in five days as the average house does in 15 months?
    That the BBC has the largest commercial record library in the world? That 50,000 videos of Watch with Mother were sold last year?
    Amazing Scenes!
    How does Martyn Lewis know what's going on all over the world? What does
    Bergerac do when it rains in the middle of a sunlit crime? What do Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones think of Terry Wogan ? Go behind the scenes with stars of radio and television like Sue Lawley, Esther Rantzen , Desmond Lynam , Brian Redhead ,
    Derek Jameson and many others. Find out what the problems were in 1987, who took the decisions and where the money went. Producers

    I think you might be right.

    So we have now confirmed that the BBC has always had more than one "viewers comments" shows.

    ITV and Channel 4 are both PSBs so where are their similar shows?

    Hopefully it will be able to mute some of the crap sports commentary as well. :D

    Many live football games on BBC have the option of no commentary via the red button
