They've been showing Thieftakers late at night on Monday and Thursday evenings for some time now going through series 2 and series 3 but they seem to have stopped after showing episode 3.6.

What about the final 2 episodes of series 3? Nos 7 and 8?

Well, Roy, ring the station on Monday,ask to speak to Jamie, the Team Leader and tell him that this problem, which has been around since July. is still with us with the "new" Alibi. I rang on Friday and was told the problem had ben solved...

preetiv, this thread is really a duplicate of one further down the page starting "Dr Who..." If you go to the latest reply you will see my latest effort to get UKTV Drama to act. My concern is that the problem has been around for 2 months now.

As promised, team leader Jamie did ring back this afternoon to say he had referred the problem to the relevant department at UKTV Drama who in turn confirmed that other people had complained of the same problem. Although Jamie couldn't guess/conjecture what the source of the lost sound was the dept dealing with it were doing their best to find out the cause and solve it.

Well, at least we know they are working on it. My concern is how long will it take? There is another thread on this board with someone pointing out the sound problem in July. It's been 2 months already...

I spoke to UKTV Drama this morning and a helpful sounding team leader called Jamie said he would look into the problem and phone me back in the next couple of days.

I will pass on any info I get.

Positive, I'm going to ring them AGAIN on Monday. I suggest you do the same as it might galvanize them into some sort of action. The phone number is on the "Contact Us" page at the bottom of this page. What are they doing, not transmitting a sufficiently strong signal?? It's not as if I live in the back of beyond...I live in London.

I turned UK TV Drama on this morning and the problem was still there. I think it's important that we RING IN on Monday and complain or nothing is going to get done. The Taggart 25 year anniversary week was wrecked.

achook, I've rung UK Drama for the 3rd time this morning about this! Once about 10 days ago, 2nd 3 days ago and today. The problem is there in the morning, it's there at night and it's there when I've been videoing the Taggarts for their so called 25 year special week! Please give them a ring so they know it's not just me (somebody else did write about this on a thread here last week as welL).
The first person I spoke to 10 days ago did confirm they had a problem with this but "were fixing it"...well they haven't!

I am surprised that nobody has replied to Annoyed As Hell's post of July 12th regarding these "silent moments" when the dialogue disappears before returning about 10 seconds later! I've also started to get them and I'm sure it must be a UKTV Drama issue as I don't get it from all the other satellite channels I watch. Admittedly, I don't watch UKTV Gold much these days so it might be a UKTV problem generally. Maesy did reply but I think he/she was only addressing Annoyed's 2nd point which I haven't been affected by. I have Sky and just do a timer controlled recording always adding on 10 minutes in case the programme overruns.
