I realise we’ve had to suffer fake galloping/jumping sounds for ages on the BBC. (That bird noise at the US Masters isn’t real either.)
At Ascot this weekend we seemed to have the very dubious bonus of fake crowd noise. It’s really got me into grumpy old man mode.
Bastards.
November 25, 2007 at 18:37 #126988The galloping sound on the telly irritates the whatsits out of me. It sounds like the going is firm when it’s actually soft.
November 25, 2007 at 18:38 #126989note forgetting the fake sound of the horses jumping hurdles. i remember at aintree in october someone pressed the hurdle noise button while a trainer was being interviewed. why do the bbc always teat its viewers like idiots?
November 25, 2007 at 18:53 #126995It annoys me as well.
Rather just hear the commentary.

November 25, 2007 at 19:00 #126996Stopped banging his coconuts together immediately after the line. A sackable offence imo.
The one shaking the jar of dried rice at each fence did a much better job.
Licence fee money well spent.
Copied from Betfair’s Forum – It made me smile
November 25, 2007 at 20:06 #127016The BBC were questioned the other week after adding baby noises to a feature about a russian woman giving birth to a number of babies. The pictures showed no babies crying but the audio added on did. A BBC person admitted they shouldn’t have done it.
November 25, 2007 at 20:17 #127022No way? Are you serious, do they really add noises to the racing?? Haha i never knew that!
November 25, 2007 at 22:01 #127048So sound effects are added to programmes to add to viewers’ enjoyment – the flapped rubber gloves for bird’s wings for example ?
Really?
It just ruins every nature programme you’ve ever seen, doesn’t it ?

November 25, 2007 at 22:39 #127057The BBC as an organisation used to be quality now sadly its a joke full of propaganda and falseness.
Fake sounds
unbelievable isn’t it?PS! Jim McGrath is truely awful.
November 25, 2007 at 23:24 #127067McGrath is a disgrace. Can’t remember which race but yesterday he stated that "the favourite jumped it well" when he clearly brushed through the top.
Also the fake hooves is a joke and really gets on my wick.
November 25, 2007 at 23:26 #127068Forgot to add that the camera shots from about 2 feet in front of the lead horse shows us nothing either
