0:00:11 > 0:00:13Good afternoon and welcome

0:00:13 > 0:00:15to Points of view, where you, the audience,

0:00:15 > 0:00:20review what you've been watching on TV over the past week.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24And with dancing and cooking and drama and documentaries and sport,

0:00:24 > 0:00:27there has been plenty to comment on.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Hello and welcome to Remembrance Week.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32I'm in Camp Bastian,

0:00:32 > 0:00:36the base of British operations here in Afghanistan.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38To mark Remembrance Sunday,

0:00:38 > 0:00:41we'll be meeting some amazing people and reflecting

0:00:41 > 0:00:45on their stories of bravery, loss and survival.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48A week of remembrance on daytime BBC One,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52paying tribute to British soldiers of the past

0:00:52 > 0:00:55and present through some emotional and personal stories.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Much appreciation for this, with only one complaint.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Why was the programme not aired

0:01:00 > 0:01:03when there would be a bigger audience available to watch?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Now, you may remember last week some viewers told us

0:01:33 > 0:01:36they were finding it hard to understand exactly what was

0:01:36 > 0:01:39happening on the new series of Ripper Street. Do you remember that?

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Many of those who got in touch complained the dialogue

0:01:42 > 0:01:44was just too mumbled.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48(I hear you've been getting loquacious.)

0:01:48 > 0:01:50(What was I to do, Inspector?)

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, it would seem things have got a whole lot clearer

0:01:53 > 0:01:55in the East End of London.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58You were happy to remain at the side of a man whose hand

0:01:58 > 0:02:00is suspected in that friend's untimely demise.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, what about that?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Ripper Street's dodgy dialogue has disappeared,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17hopefully never to return.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20The 19th-century drama is not the only culprit.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24You have been reporting sound problems with lots of others, too.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm extremely frustrated when watching television,

0:02:28 > 0:02:31because I can't understand what the actors are saying.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34They either mumble or talk too quickly.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Music is also being played while the actors are talking.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39So please, can you cut the music

0:02:39 > 0:02:43and ask the actors to speak more clearly?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46And, Nancy, you are not alone in your frustration,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49trying to understand what is being said.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Here is just a selection of some of the programmes prompting

0:03:14 > 0:03:16viewers to ask, "What did they just say?"

0:03:16 > 0:03:20It's no skin off your nose. No humans involved.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24But an exchange does you a favour.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Luther, with George Stark occasionally mangling his lines.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32And Peaky Blinders, already criticised by PoV-ers

0:03:32 > 0:03:33for its accents,

0:03:33 > 0:03:37also had some dodgy indecipherables of its own.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40In this house? Here?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44You always used to do voices when we were kids.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46We actually had to go to the transcript to figure out

0:03:46 > 0:03:49what was being said in some of these.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Now, the drama department insists they do take this issue

0:03:52 > 0:03:55very seriously. We shall see.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58But rest assured, it's something we will be keeping a very close eye,

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I should take ear, on in the future.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04CONTINUITY ANNOUNCER: Rugby League World Cup here on BBC One.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Coverage of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup

0:04:09 > 0:04:12has left some of you feeling a little left out.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15The BBC has the rights to televise all the England matches live,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17plus one quarter final match,

0:04:17 > 0:04:19one of the semis, and the final.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20I'm guessing that most of us,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23when we looked at the fixtures before it all started,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26would not have picked Italy versus Scotland as a really good game.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Highlight programmes cover other nations' matches,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32but some of you are calling foul play on this one.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58You can't please everybody all of the time, can you?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Quite a lot of unhappiness at this one.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03We put your comments direct to the sports department.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05This is what they had to say.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38And if you're a rugby fan who wants to catch up on the action

0:05:38 > 0:05:40you may have missed,

0:05:40 > 0:05:42there is a highlights programme

0:05:42 > 0:05:45tonight on BBC One at 11.45.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52TV and theatre came together on BBC Two on Saturday night

0:05:52 > 0:05:56for an extravagant celebration of half a century of performance

0:05:56 > 0:05:58at the National Theatre.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I don't get confused that easily. Yes, I do. I'm my own worst enemy.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Stop being negative. I'm not being negative! I'm being realistic.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08More than two hours of live performance from the Southbank

0:06:08 > 0:06:10featuring some of our best-loved actors.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11You're the cock up!

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Don't you call me a cock up, you cock up!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34A standing ovation for live theatre, then.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37And standing ovations every week, it seems,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40for the performers on Strictly Come Dancing,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43now well into its 11th series and regularly winning

0:06:43 > 0:06:45the weekend ratings battle,

0:06:45 > 0:06:48with audiences of over 10 million.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52The success of this sparkly series shows no sign of waning.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10And while many of you may tune in for the fun, entertainment

0:07:10 > 0:07:13and extravagance that Strictly offers...

0:07:13 > 0:07:17# Let's do the time warp again...#

0:07:17 > 0:07:20..with popularity comes strong feelings,

0:07:20 > 0:07:23and there's no putting these critics in a corner.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Returning next week will be...

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Representing the views of quite a few who think

0:07:28 > 0:07:31the voting system doesn't guarantee the best dancers

0:07:31 > 0:07:33go through to the next round,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35it's viewer Catherine Keith.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56So is it time for a revamp of the voting system?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58We asked the Strictly team, who were keen to point out first

0:07:58 > 0:08:01and foremost that this is an entertainment show.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04They told us the responsibility for who stays in

0:08:04 > 0:08:05lies with the audience.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08And while the judges give their professional opinions

0:08:08 > 0:08:10on the dancers, the audience is free to vote

0:08:10 > 0:08:12for their favourite celebrity

0:08:12 > 0:08:14to save them from the dance-off.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Some of you think the studio audience are ruining

0:08:22 > 0:08:25the enjoyment of the music. Cue Steve Bird.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'd like to know why it is

0:08:27 > 0:08:28we have to listen to the sound of the audience

0:08:28 > 0:08:31clapping along so loudly with every piece of music,

0:08:31 > 0:08:33except the waltz.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE

0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's destroying the performances of the musicians and singers,

0:08:41 > 0:08:45and you can't tell the difference between the rhythm of the samba,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47the quick step or a tango.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48The response here?

0:08:48 > 0:08:52This is one the team at Strictly say they can't really do anything about.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55They say the audience reactions are spontaneous

0:08:55 > 0:08:58and are appreciated by both the band and the dancers.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00# Maneater

0:09:00 > 0:09:01# Make you work hard

0:09:01 > 0:09:03# Make you spend hard

0:09:03 > 0:09:05# Make you want all of her love...#

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Is there any reason why almost every year,

0:09:08 > 0:09:10one of the couples ends up dancing to 'Maneater'?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Even this series, 'Maneater' has made two appearances,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20which is one more than Tony Jacklin.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Surely by now there are no men left to eat?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Now, Sarah, we think you have nothing to worry about here.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31While the song titles might have been the same,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33they have in fact been two different songs.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37So we think your favourite men will be safe.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44OK, if Strictly is the entertainment show in pole position,

0:09:44 > 0:09:48then MasterChef leads the way for cookery shows.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51And it returned this week, causing the usual stir.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Staying in the kitchen, and fresh from Bake Off,

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Paul Hollywood is back on our screens

0:10:11 > 0:10:13with his pies and puds.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Ooh, ooh.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Hey, hey.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19Look at that.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Actually, it looks a bit like corned beef.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Serving up some of our best loved dishes with

0:10:25 > 0:10:26a sprinkling of foodie facts,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29the master bread-maker getting

0:10:29 > 0:10:31a half-baked reception from some of you.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02It would seem that, in the world of chefs, money is no object,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05a point made by viewer Glynne Owen,

0:11:05 > 0:11:08who's noticed they don't often pay for the ingredients.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well, is he right?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27We did our own unscientific research

0:11:27 > 0:11:30and found quite a few examples to support the theory.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35MUSIC: "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits

0:11:41 > 0:11:44This is alfresco dining at its best.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Oh, to be a chef in a world where money doesn't matter.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51You wouldn't catch a doctor not paying for his food,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54especially not a respected one like Dr Sharma,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57who returned in The Indian Doctor this week.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01I can only hear some sheep. Exactly!

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Mr Rawlins, if you open the door, maybe I can help you...

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Viva Italia!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27And speaking of moving schedules...

0:12:43 > 0:12:46It may not satisfy you, Jenny,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49but the show was moved to make way for Africa,

0:12:49 > 0:12:50the new nature series.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53And it's actually not the only programme on the move,

0:12:53 > 0:12:57because next week WE are on the earlier time of a quarter past two.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Don't forget, as well, that in a few weeks

0:13:00 > 0:13:03we will be interviewing the BBC's director-general, Tony Hall.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06You can give us your questions and comments for the DG,

0:13:06 > 0:13:08the main man, and any other comments you might

0:13:08 > 0:13:10have on the programmes you've been watching.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13And there are a number of ways to get in touch.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14By post at...

0:14:05 > 0:14:07# ..Nothing but blue skies from now on. #

0:14:07 > 0:14:09A war of the imagination.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Strange Days, part of the Cold War season.
