My Dad often has to miss a programme he wants to see because of this loud and unnecessary music blocking out what someone is saying and there being no subtitles. I tell him that he's definitely not the only one to feel this way. Maybe one day programme makers will heed to our viewing needs

Helen darlin' - take this opportunity to raise this as a complaint with the BBC's (new) Director General. You never know, it might even work!!!

Re: Music Playing

With some of the rubbish that is around today, I prefer the music sometimes, but don't forget the music came first Youtube

Yes Arthur matey, but NOT during documentaries, and particularly NOT when presenters are talking too!!!

Re: Music Playing

The wife and I went into a restaurant back in 2006 I think it was and the music was oh so loud. Plus it was "modern music" so that made it even worse.

I asked for it to be turned down but the waiter said it could not.

I got my own back by singing "Burning Love" by Elvis at the top of my voice. Granted that was after a few Scotches but still, it showed people how irritating it is
