ste Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yes it was the whole episode! As far as i can make out its only for the repeats, I'll find out tonight though. Still if you cant see the first one why put up with that just because you cant get to see the first. Soaps are not meant to be signed! Thats what subtitles are for! Im doing the episode so you can all watch it in its glory, i give you 10 seconds before you get annoyed with her. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bloody would get annoyed with that woman moving her hands all the time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's called sign language, it's used so that deaf people can understand what's going on and what's being said. It only appears in the repeat episode not the evening show, and it doesn't bother me one little bit. H&A is not the first show on Five, they used to do the same with the repeat of Family Affairs. If she's bugging you, try not watching her and watching the actual show instead! You soon don't notice her at all. For god's sake people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ben- Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Does she appear on other shows too? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She, or some person used to appear on the re-runs of Family Affairs only. But now that Five have axed the FA re-runs, and the show is ending altogether at New Years, H&A is now Five's main soap, which is why the re-runs now get the sign language person. Edit: You beat me to it Ste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm just hoping they leave the Omnibus alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcoleman_uk Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's called sign language, it's used so that deaf people can understand what's going on and what's being said. What happened to subtitles though? and not all deaf people can understand sign language! Im not insensitive. But it does block the picture and why spoil it when there is an alternative? At least when BBC do it they shrink the pic slightly and have the person on a blue background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenie Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi, new on this. Notice that someone says only 33 episodes left for 2205 if the finale is Novmeber 2005. Can someone explain this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nim Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Has anyone tried to watch The Bill repeats on ITV3, they have a Voice Over, whom describes everything that happens, before it even happens on the screen. It supposed to be for blind people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yeah I've seen that too. In fact I remember when the idea was first revealed about 10 years ago on "Tomorrow's World". Again, it doesn't bother me because, again, it's only the repeat edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannick Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't think I would bother if they did it with our repeat. I know some deaf people have problems with the subtitles because it goes too fast. And they have the same right to watch a soap as everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
