MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just watched an old episode of Hamish Macbeth with Robert Carlisle. Used to love that show. There's a character called Frankie Brice played by Stephen Henderson. He played a young lad from Glasgow. He sounds like he's been dubbed, and badly at that. Has he really been dubbed and if so, why?
Also, do I win the prize for most abstract question on STW ever?

Isn't lots of (most?) on location sound recording dubbed over afterwards anyway? Were the scenes in a studio set or on location? Maybe he wasn't available when they did the overdubs so they had to get someone else in?
It annoys me when they dub 2 stroke moto cross bikes with a 4 stroke multi.
Can STW really answer anything?
Yes
......also no.
Depends what kind of riding your doing and how heavy you are.
Can STW really answer anything?
Especially if it's not the question that's been asked. For example:
I was on a work trip to the Hebrides a month or so ago, and stayed for 2 nights in Plockton, where HaMacBe was filmed. It's very pretty indeed.
Can STW answer everything?
No. See any of the LA threads.

Whaddayamean!? There's loads of STWers who KNOW THE FACTS!
Could have been dubbed for two reasons, one being you can't always get clean sound on location, so voice is re-recorded later, not all actors are good at that re-recording performance though. the other is broadcasters are very nervous of using regional accents, it could be after test screenings (or if after filming there was a decision to screen across the whole network rather than just in scotland) they felt the need to soften his accent. Had a quick look at the crew list on the off chance I knew the sound dept but it's not anyone I know.

+1, and have you seen the final scene motorbike shoot out in Mission Impossible? They even change the tryes on the thing half way through. grrrr.
Yes.

Re motorbikes, in Terminator 2 he's chasing the kid riding a 50 when he's on a big harley - well whatever, but the thing that annoys me is that the kid only ever changes up, never down. His bike seems to have about 30 gears.

What does knowing the facts have to do with providing an answer?
His bike seems to have about 30 gears.
Christ only knows how many gears the cars on the fast and the furious have.
But my favourite for dubbed sound is coverage of horse racing. When the horses are at the far side of the course they're out range of the mics and you'd pick up too much noise from the camera vehicles anyway. So broadcasters have been using same slowed down tape of stampeding buffalo since the 80s.
The question that CANNOT be answered by anyone else ever:-
"What tyres for...." 😆
