We STILL can’t hear SS-GB actors and now the camera’s shaky too!
WHEN viewers struggled to understand the first episode of BBC1 drama SS-GB, it sparked a huge row over ‘mumbling’.
But now viewers have complained that the camera work is too ‘shaky’, the sound is too loud – and that they still cannot understand what people are saying.
Millions switched off in fury at the litany of problems. Just 3.9million people tuned in on Sunday night, compared to 6.1million the previous week. Scores also took to Twitter to lambast the series.
One viewer wrote: ‘Bad sound quality yada yada yada, but shaky camera shots bother me more.’ Others said that they struggled with the ‘growling’ and ‘muttering’. The dystopian BBC1 drama is set in German-occupied London in 1941, after the Battle of Britain. The BBC has vowed to fix the sound since the series began earlier this month. Technology experts blame the new generation of flat-screen TVs and urge viewers to buy separate ‘bar’ speakers. Yesterday, the BBC said it had no further comment to make on the issue.
