Vocal Voices

It was on BBC4 tonight 2hrs of no noise except birds and water
It was lovely so relaxing

I caught a quick bit of this and it was mesmerising. I think I might try and watch it all the way through

it really was lovely MM not a sound
on sunday night it was 2 half hr programs about a glass blower /and a metal worker
tonight its about a woodkeeper i think

Same as the Handmade series.... just people making things from start to finish, with no annoying commentary.

Yes it's called handmade series wAtched it tonight brilliant
Just read that the canal program attracted 600,000
Viewers I'm not suprissed

It is a Scandinavian thing nicknamed SlowTV.

I have a program on the computer which plays soothing sounds - birdsong, running water, jungle. These TV shows are the visual version. One channel in Norway has one of a burning log fire, ideal for winter evenings when reading a book.

It is addictive!

i'm getting worried about you lot

It's a bit of a waste of two hours though isn't it.

Watching a canal boat moving down a canal.

Nice, peaceful but pointless.

It is mildly hypnotic and therefore very relaxing, I think pointless is the whole point

Being as I never go out at night I find it a joy to watch without the usual audiences false laughter
And it wasn't a wast of 2hrs I sat knitting
I'm in my 70s remember
We all get older
