That makes 2 in less than 24 hours!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by Risto:Is it just me or did the BBC broadcast sound sped up (NTSC -> PAL 4% speed up). I certainly hope not.

Originally posted by RistoEBTTRT also sounded faster, didnt like that. Maybe it was just to cut the time.

Originally posted by Risto:Seemed a bit high pitched everything, like the American tv series sound fucked up here in Holland because they dont bother to do it properly, just play it back faster.

Where was it shown? Tuschinski?

Don't think so. Speeding up a song by a 3 or 4% (smallers speedings-up are hardly noticeable) can save what? 15, 25 seconds? There were plenty of long silents between scenes, etc that can be removed more easily than speeding up a recorded song.

Pretty much all the songs were in alternative keys to the original music, could just be to do with copyright - notice it with loads of stuff, e.g. CSI using U2 music which has come out in different keys. Hadn't considered it being the actual broadcast speed, entirely likely.
