Has the sound on HD been changed? I noticed at the weekend that the
sound quality seems richer with stronger bass. Has some technical
change been made?

You don't say which channel or which system, Freeview or Freesat?

Russ Andrews has rewired Television Centre at licence payers' expense
in preparation for some other broadcaster to take it over.

Surely if that was the case, no one would have noticed any difference
*until* they'd been told of the vast sums spent? ;-)

Just heard of someone who had some Quad electrostatics modified by Russ
Andrews. (why, I dunno) They needed repair (admittedly some way down the
line) and the repair company says they're scrap. Just about everything
Araldited together.

Op dinsdag, 10 juli, 2012, om 15:28:12u +0200,
vroegt Martin van Nederlands:

Was £100 the top prize in those distant days? :-)


From what I understand of the history of that period,
the first quiz shows on the ITV network did have large
top prizes but following the scandal of NBC's "Twenty One"
with contestant Charles Van Doren given the answers to
the questions to memorize before the show, the ITA
stepped in and laid down regulations limiting the
prize money to something like maybe GBP 1 000 per show
and possibly GBP 2 500 in total for repeat appearances
of contestants.

The ITA always felt that one of its primary goals was
to prevent the ITV network being operated in any way like
or perceived to be like US television.

For a personal account by Charles Van Doren of the Quiz Show Scandal see

http://www.newyorker.COM/reporting/2008/07/28/080728fa_fact_vandoren?currentPage=all

The root cause lay in the sponsor of the program, according to Wikipedia

QUOTE

The initial broadcast of Twenty One was played honestly, with no
manipulation of the game by the producers. Unfortunately, that
broadcast was, in the words of producer Dan Enright, "a dismal failure";
the first two contestants succeeded only in making a mockery of the format
by how little they really knew.

Show sponsor Geritol, upon seeing this opening-night performance,
reportedly became furious with the results, and threatened to pull
their sponsorship of the show if it happened again.

The end result: Twenty One was not merely "fixed", it was almost
totally choreographed. Contestants were cast almost as if they were
actors, and in fact were active and (usually) willing partners in
the deception. They were given instruction as to how to dress, what
to say to the host, when to say it, what questions to answer, what
questions to miss, even when to mop their brows in their isolation booths
(which had air conditioning that could be cut off at will, to make
them sweat more).
