My wife and I are fed up to the back teeth with directors of TV and film who revel in making their works become unfathomable to ordinary viewers.
How many times do we see outlines of characters wandering about the set enshrouded in so much darkness that it becomes impossible to work out who is who?
How many times do directors create more than one character of the same hair colouring, same body shape, similar clothing and even similar features? Is this intended to confuse?
Why do so very many actors mumble constantly?
Time after time, Mrs Blogger and I turn off a series which had appeared quite promising.

Today, I happened to watch an old episode of The Bill from around 2005. We saw every movement with genuine clarity; heard every word uttered without exception; recognised that the director seemed to care - not just with people having health or age issues - but for the young and healthy also!
We were enjoying 'The Outsider' series but there were so many areas of confusion - even after we had played it back - we had no alternative but to abandon it.
This occurs a number of times weekly.
