"Actors muttering can be testing... you find you have missed a line. You are balancing people’s needs as they get older – which, as someone of my age, I completely appreciate – with the creative need of a director to put in music or sounds that help to make the drama or the programme more real and vital."
I didn't watch Jamaica Inn; already twitchy over the trailers. But those who did suggest a few letters could be heading to the DG. As far as the two basics of acting - "Speak up and don't bumb into the furniture" - it seems Jamaica Inn achieved one. Many complained they had to switch on subtitles.
"mmmbmbmb bmbmbll mnbmbml" They don't write 'em like that any more #JamaicaInn

Some who saw previews and others who have watched since online suggest their versions were perfectly clear, and that last night's broadcast may have had a fault in transmission. But there was no apology for any technical problem at the end, which suggests Red Bee may not be across Twitter.
