    I started to watch the Carol Klein gardening programme but in less than 10minutes, the background music had me deciding whether to climb the walls or chew the carpet.
    Can anyone explain what tinkling musak adds to a gardening programme?

    If thete was an app that deleted canned laughter and music from television programmes, I'd pay good money for it. It can't be that difficult to produce one. After all, it's all added afterwards anyway.
    I remember, there were two versions of MASH available. With and without canned laughter.. We had without in UK. One episode with CL was screened in error. There was uproar.

    IMHO canned laughter is added by producers who fear it's not actually funny enough to induce genuine laughter in the audience

    I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.  o:)

    Hybrid depending on whether I agree with what you post. At the moment, you can take it as a compliment.😊

  • The most annoying canned laughter is on The Chase. They put it on even when someone says something that isn't funny and isn't intended to be funny.
