I like the concept, even if I won’t watch programs like it myself. Will it pull in bimbos galore who want their heads on the box (big or small)? You bet. Will it be a life support unit for all of the B-grade actors/presenters involved? Sure will. Hell, it’ll probably be picked up by a cable channel and gain a cult following. Not a bad way to reinvent yourself.
Robson was never a journo anyway, and for all the gaffes attributed to her, remember she wouldn’t have been acting alone – someone else writes the autocues, lines up talent, decides on dubious story material and how it will be attained, demands their talent dress up in silly outfits (remember the khaki shirt and lizard show?), and demands their stars are coiffed to within an inch of their lives (hence the mega make-up truck debacle).
As for the dodgy boyfriend – let she without a similar liaison in her past cast the first stone (hey you – put that rock down you lying bimbo!).
You can’t in all good conscience pillory someone who was only a product of the TV machine. But I guess everyone likes to have a whipping post.

>You cant even understand what they’re saying the audio’s that bad.

The audio is shit because it’s been compressed by someone who clearly knows nothing about compression and probably used some cheap shitty preset.

For the record: audio takes up a very small percentage of the file size of a video. So when you compress, you can afford to be “generous” with the audio settings. Compress too much and you’ll get the metallic whistling hell as experienced in the above video.

Generally, I wouldn’t recommend dropping the audio of any converted video below mp3 quality (128k).

YouTube audio itself (because uploaded videos get reconverted) is now around 200k standard, according to some sites. However you can’t “add back” quality to audio that has already been overcompressed. You can turn a 60k audio stream into a 2,000k audio stream, but it won’t sound any better. It’s like enlarging a tiny jpeg image several hundred times. You don’t get the data back that you chose to discard.

Do I hear a touch of canned audience reaction sounds. Suitable for a pilot? Maybe. For a “sizzle reel”? Probably not.

Wait a minute. This sounds like an evil plot to gain exposure for all of Markson’s B grade celeb wannabes. Krystal Forscutt? Puhleease.

Let’s hope she thinks more of the online community than she did of her TT audience – http://bit.ly/9IpE3H

Wow, great production quality here.

You cant even understand what they’re saying the audio’s that bad.
