What the BBC or anyone else does now is unrelated to when I did training. Modern movies also often are worse for dialogue then 1930s to 1950s.

Live audience pop / rock concerts and especially outdoors are mostly dreadful for sound, no matter how you record it.

The only live music I've liked were orchestral or folk or Tom Paxton. All the rest had poor sound quality and too loud. Dreadful compared to the same artists/groups on CD studio recordings. All of the CDs I have of actual live pop concerts are also much poorer production values than the studio versions.
I disagree about outdoor concerts sounding dreadful. Sky Arts can broadcast the Isle of Wight Festival pretty well. The sound is a lot better then Glastonbury.
