Watching this just now on iPlayer and the colour pallet is pretty dull and muted. Is this intentional?

Yes, I would have thought so. Seeing as it's a gritty, Jimmy McGovern drama, it's supposed to look dull.

Thought Alison Steadman was beyond exceptional in it.

I wonder if it was an iPlayer fault. Sure the adverts were brighter, photos show it brighter.

Had to pause watching it, I'm sure there will be some awards won for it.

It's called Art dude.

Altering lighting, lens type, lens aperture and colour temperature
to convey a "mood" is becoming as important in TV drama
as in Movies.
Watch old brightly coloured episodes of Corrie
from the 1980s where the set is blasted by overhead lighting
and compare it to the gloomy lighting and muted colouring of
modern Eastenders episodes.

I know what art is, and effects used for filming.

Just this seemed overly muted and washed out grey. And couldn't work out if it was an iPlayer fault with some sort of overlay effect, now they're going all Netflix style of playing in background etc.

And you'll never make me watch a soap

Live/pvr it was just as bad ... looked like they had the black level wrong which has been a BBC problem before.
changed gamma setting whilst i was watching but it did not help.
have not searched on the web for an explanation.
