I'm afraid I can see similarities with what we are more often trained at work to do with presentations these days. Always keep your audience on your toes, change the appearance regularly, no technical information for too long, more importantly at the start list explicitly what's coming up -during the content repeat yourself three times and at the end re-tell everything again. That I have always been told (wince) is the "American format" because attention spans there are much shorter (sorry -just repeating what I'm told!). It is a shame programmes are going this way though because the informative content reduces probably by 50%. What gets me and particularly off-putting with TV these days though is they cannot apparently afford tripods for cameras any more, so constant scene cutting, shaky cameras and constant focusing in / out, or mis-focusing on something completely separate prevail!!! That I find almost impossible to watch without following the content properly or just plain feeling ill!
I think though I'm being harsh on the programme, it's clearly not invented for folk already in the hobby -or those local to the area. I guess it's not made for either kind of folk.
