SCD has 12 million viewers, there is little comment, maybe the rest were all concentrating on the show and not posting here, but the media comment I have looked is negligible.
Jamaica Inns negative comments came in thick and fast during the show.
The high varied Music, clapping, talking, going up and down, can be a test for some cheaper end TVs that as it goes from loud music to one person talking, or clapping, to another talking, it can get the TV changing its sound levels against the desired broadcast levels.
And then that before the fact, that like our eyes, we all have different quality if hearing. A young mum can focus in on her toddler crying at a party, out of thirty kids, but older people may have difficulty focusing on one person when many are talking.
So typically the older we are the harder it can be for us to listen in on a person talking over clapping, but young people listening have no issue.”

I think Jamaica Inn was different, it was the actual sound mix that was low whereas Strictly is perfectly OK on some listening setups so it is a technical problem.
