What a disaster.
No - I don't mean the subject matter. I mean the changes!
What was wrong with video that it used to be filmed on?
Why do we have to have the jerky moving cameras?
Do they think this adds to the drama?
I just find it distracting.
This seems like another example of the Americanisation of British TV.
And where are the gags... 
I know (it's the general thread...)
I know - I started that didn't I! LOL
I just don't like the way filming styles are going generally
It made me laugh too!
I don't like anything too gimmicky with filming, to my mind, you should never be aware of the camera..
it was a succesful formula - some dodgy writing occasionally. But why do they have to change it?
Probably some smart arse young whizz kid

Has it gone all weird and arty? Like that Holby Blue thing, that's all dramatic and washed-out?
(Read: wanky.)
that's right Aaron - wanky!
They changed Holby City first of all, it didn't even come during a series break as it was just altered halfway through a run.
Doesn't look as 'real' as the old style does it?
To be honest I find the whole show a distraction.
Is it like NYPD Blue in '''style''' ? Arggghhhhh !!!
I just roll my eyes at the ways they think of for people to hurt themselves. "Son, stop covering yourself in honey and do me a afvour. Just sit on this ants nest full of angry red killer ants while I nip into the house to get the kettle......." will be next week.

It looks - AMERICAN! - and we don't want that do we!
I bet they're trying to sell it to the yanks
It is supposed to look shit.
The idiots don't get it at all do they?
you'd think the BBC would employ cameramen who could keep them steady wouldn't you!

I blame NYPD Blue.
I can't see Holby going down well in America, it still managed to look cheaper than Grey's Anatomy, House and E.R.
