Watching the Tournament and the Chase, both presented by ya Safferners, and there are so many questions beginning “what(insert b,d,t,p,etc)?” and I mis-hear the consonant every time.
I’d rather not use sub-titles and don’t think I’m going deaf. Anybody else suffer similar?

Nope. Looks like it is you!

The woman presenting The Tournament has a dreadful speaking voice. I am hard of hearing and generally use subtitles but I definitely need them for this programme. In fact, I have stopped watching it because her voice is so penetrating and yet her words are indecipherable.

We like the formula but can’t be done with contestants trying to psyche the other out. So we record it and then ff through. Gets a 45 minute show down to the opening 8 questions and 6x2minute rounds.

Try adding a 3.1 system, or at least a soundbar. Makes the world of difference to dialogue.

Have a Phillips 5.1 and it doesn’t help.
