BBC One HD low frame rate?

Oh my goodness. That set looks incredible complete with stone house, waterwheel and a tree.

Would rather watch 16 pigs having a poo to be honest

Fine here. On Virgin.

Tried changing the channel and changing back?

Keep expecting Frodo to pop up.

There's so much more to the set than initially meets the eye

All these people saying "What's this **** cheap countryside **** set" or words to that effect need to shut up and watch.

From the look of it, it has the potential to be painfully bad. I saw the house on the astro turf.

I said exactly the same to my gf, looks like the hobbit village. Looks really cheap IMO, but let's wait and see what they do with it.

Enough of the whinging please. Go and create a moaning thread if you want to moan.

Reset of box fixed it. Not sure why the box was skipping frames.

Good intro on at the moment.

I think it's going to be epic.

Yeah... Go into the olympic ranting thread in GD....

...Which I seriously regret creating after watching the rehearsal.

I was one of the people who thought "what is this **** countryside set", but trust me, you need to watch this, it will be epic.

oldbag · 27 Jul 2012 at 19:11

I didn't see the stipulation for "no moaning" in the thread title.

It certainly does look good. The 4 clouds as well handled floating around.

Indeed

I thought that too at the start but you have to admire the cricket game happening and morris dancing - excellent stuff.

Keep an eye on the horse drawn cart and keep an eye on the tree

I was down Weymouth last week. Fair to say it's a bit busier than when I was there!

Can see the blimp flying about out the window

One way to beat top them all including the Beijing 2008 opening ceremony:

Swearies need to be fully starred on this forum, including in pics

I'm having issues too on Freesat but switching to Freeview seems to have sorted it.
