Murder by the Sea

It sounds like there is an orchestra tuning up in the background. It is difficult to hear what is being said. Please stop the loud music in TV programmes, we usually get fed up straining to hear and turn over.

I am disgusted with the presenters description of both the island and the islanders. Sanday, pronounced, Sandy, is not a dark, infertile, inhospitable island. The islanders are not uncooperative and secretive and suggestion that all incomers had moved there because they were running away from something is diabolical. I suggest that the people involved in the production get their facts straight. The main island in the group is called Mainland, the main town is Kirkwall. I was on island, visiting at the time of the investigation. I lived there for more than 20 years, so I have a fair insight into island life.

The story tellers are great, the cases interesting but I avoid watching purely because the music is awful!! The theme tune I guess is meant to be mood setting for the seaside settings of the tales however the only mood setting it provides for me is to switch channel and watch something else.

Does the opening music last longer than other programs or does it just feel like it goes on forever because it's so dreadful? The high pitched ships bell needs to go all together and a new theme tune should be considered before I can go back to viewing again.shame as the concept of the program is to my liking.

A lack of original footage means plenty of repetition and empty conjecture to fill out each overlong episode. Pace is slow and boring, the presenter constantly dwelling on obvious points like how selfish and lacking in remorse the murderer was and how frightened the victim must have been. Constantly imploring the viewer to imagine this, imagine that, as if they need to be told what to do! The whole thing framed in the ridiculous premise that the seaside somehow attracts murderers more than other possible locations.

Always loved this series, always liked Geoffrey's forthrightness. But my god talk about bias from the start. Only in my opinion of course. But surely the woman had a choice in it. They had a child together for heaven sake.

Everything after that was obviously was wrong.
