Could have been written by me! Shame very few productions take any notice of it!


Even more of a shame that who ever is in charge of accepting externally sourced programmes doesn't reject the audio content, but I suppose the bean counters have got rid of anything other than the legal compliance dept. meaning that no such person now exists...

Rather too simple a view. Some programmes on R4 have historically been
made by 'amateurs' - the obvious one being 'On Your Farm' where a
journalist with possibly no technical training does the interviews, etc,
on his own. It would be a sad day if the need for 'perfect' technical
quality prevented the making of such progs, as they simply wouldn't be
viable cost wise.


But wouldn't that sort of content come under the exceptions that have always been in place of news and current affairs etc. Studio or location programmes, like R4s "In Our Time" or BBC1s Changing Rooms for example, _should_ have audio that complies.
