Another one that gets me, is that the lighting balance is too often set for caucasian skin tones; get a great black actor like Idris Elba or Adrian Lester, and they tend to disappear. Have a look next time Patrick comes on Eastenders and you'll see what I mean.

That's very interesting. We were speculating a while ago if it was something to do with lighting when we both had trouble seeing a black actor's facial expressions.

It seems absurd that with huge advances in film and sound technology, they still struggle to get the basics right.

I have just bought a soundbar and the difference is amazing, when I started this topic I didnt know if it was me,the actors or the tv,I can now tell everything they say,like most things not cheap for a decent one, but I can highly recommend them to anyone having the same problem.
