This may have been answered before but can one of you out there kindly explain to me why does it sometimes happen when a scene changes that we hear the voice from the next scene before the picture has changed?

To keep the viewer watching so they don't divert their attention.

Nahhh surely not, the difference is too short. Could it be (forgive me for even thinking this!) BAD EDITING!!!

Well, I wouldn't say bad editing, because it happens all the time. I'd say to sustain continuity?

How come there is an episode tonight anyway?

Are we / Will we be missing a transmission day?


Well New Year's eve/New Year are both on a weekend this year and EE like to do something special for their New Year episodes. However, they could have just had episodes on Saturday and Sunday?

I haven't a clue what the reason is, but it's become a regular (and considerably annoying) feature of the programme since Kathleen Whatshername took over.

I, therefore, take it to be a specific instruction to the editor.

I see, thank you all. Strange why they would want to do this though.

Yeh, it has happened for many years, before ''Hatchet'' came and went.

Oh how I laughed when Johnny rang Phil in the Indian. And slight balls up with sound levels during the credits for me?
