Anyone who saw the BBLB bit on the people who do the sound editing must have been struck at how tedious what they do must be I'd have thought? I couldn't believe they have to transcribe each incident onto PAPER and then someone else does the edit! How quaint is that? In these days of computers and digital on-line editing the idea of passing bits of paper seems like something from the dark ages....If there's a legal reason for that then fine, but if not they really should streamline that edit process!

It explains easily how come they end up chopping huge chunks rather than a few seconds as they'd drown under the mountain of paper if they did each swear word individualy!

Until I saw the process, I couldn't understand why the edits are so bad...now it all makes sense! It's the process thats cr@p!

I thought the process was much different to that; I think somebody mentioned on here that upon seeing something censorable, they had a button which would block the sound three seconds before and after so they had enough time to react.

It's surprising, really, that anything censorable still manages to get through considering there are three people checking at once; it would be good to see some of those edit forms though:

SWEARING - 0:10
LIBELLOUS COMMENT - 0:30
KEPT BACK FOR C4 - 2:30

ditto...I thought I'd been told that when editting a "live" feed producers have buttons which cut the sound/vision and that because of the delay even on live events this means they effectively have 5 seconds or so to hit the button. I'd thought the 15 mins was an extended version of this, but instead it seemed bogged down in ridiculus beurocrasy...my spelling is awful at times!

*L* @ the kept back for c4 comment...also for the video later I bet!

yea it seemed shocking they had to do it by paper! Why? Do they have some sort of legal reason to keep data logged by paper? Seems strange to me.
