I am getting increasingly cross with TV producers and programme makers in general who will not permit us to know who is performing in their particular piece.Rare in the extreme are the programmes which show the main characters' photo or clip at the beginning with the name below so we know precisely who it is.
There is a silly preference for giving a jumble of unexplained names.
This has long been the annoying case but sadly, matters have worsened dramatically of late, as we are no longer allowed to check who the participants are at the end of the programme.
One thing which is now a regular is to take the credits and shrink them to a third of the size so that clips from the next programme can be added.
Secondly, credits now go past at the speed of one of The Lone Ranger's silver bullets. They are simply impossible to read.
When both of these points are combined - as they frequently are - the frustration is appalling.
In addition to being unable to identify actors unless the programme was recorded and on pause, how often are you able to identify any piece of music contained therein - including the main theme?
