Voiceovers
Posted: Thu 2 February, 2006 Filed under: Thoughts 3 Comments »I know I’ve written about this before – particularly in a post about Dragon’s Den – but recently Masterchef (Sorry, “Masterchef Goes Large”) has succumbed to the plague of the voiceover.
I still don’t know why we have to have them in these programmes – the entire thing’s only 30 minutes long, and we seriously don’t need to be reminded of what the judges have said when they’ve only just bloody well said it. I’ve been blessed with a short-term memory for these things, so please, let me use it. The programme isn’t watched by goldfish – well, maybe it is, but you get my point – and we don’t need these summarys and precis (precii, precisses?) every 30 seconds.
Now, what was I talking about?
LOL
I was thinking about you as I watched it last night! I’d rather watch a little more ‘advice’ from Greg and John than another “But can they survive the pressure of ….” segment. Show us the cooking!!!!
And while I’m on the topic (sort of) can Saturday Kitchen PLEASE have Greg back and get rid of I’mtony Cheesy Bastard.
Come on. India Fisher needs the work.
Have you watched the programme on Alternative Health? Constant reiteration of the same point in case we forgot what was said two minutes ago. And the condescension “A disease called osteo-arthritis”. Why not just say “Osteo-arthritis”? If we didn’t know it was a disease, we would soon guess by the context.
