Dark programmes!!

Is it just me but some of the programmes on my new state of the art television are DARK!!! Main culprits are Gunpowder, Victoria and Poldark. Have turned brightness as far as it will go. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, it seems to be the new "atmospheric" tool in programme making. Driven I think by the new wave of hi.def. TV's that can display dark with some level of detail. I'm not keen myself, there is dark, and too dark. What irritates me more is the poor sound quality and the mumbling, or is it my age :-)?

Are you sure you've got your new state of the art TV set up correctly? There are more options than just brightness. When we bought my parents a new TV some of the programmes looked a bit dark and then we discovered a few extra options like setting the picture mode to dynamic that made all the difference.

I thought it was going to be about shows that are dark in content, not lighting. So I was going to mention Monkey Dust.
