I checked up on the Disability Discrimination Act, and
it carefully doesn't cover such things (or stations and airports,
which make even less attempt to make their information accessible).

I wish there was some organisation for the abolition of music played over
dialogue in tv plays and in films. AMPOD, instead of iPod! Nothing is more
infuriating than that. They appear frightened that the quality of the
script can't hold up on its own without the counterpoint of music to enhance
pathos - or more probably bathos.

It's not just plays and films. They can't give you the news
headlines without loud incessant bloody drums and repeated cymbally
chords and clangs, often drowning out the news reader and persisting
into the news proper before they deign to fade it out.

You know who you are, BBC and Sky particularly.

Well, I suppose the answer is for a LOT of people to write in and complain.
Some of the programmes in which this background music is played during
dialogue are not going to appeal to a very young audience. They're made to
be watched by older people who now make up the majority of the population.
So let's make our own loud noise about it! They're supposed to be in the
business of communication, for heaven's sake!
