I hear what you say Carol, just that, if the Beeb is going to say a flat NO to
on-air voice-over, then we have to take part in a debate about alternatives.
Distribution of DVDs or videos hadn't struck me as an alternative, and there
would be a time lag, so we could hardly join in popular discussion of
programmes that are hot public issues. I'd have thought that at the very least
we should be looking to the voice sub-channel, and/or the internet, for
starters.
I do agree though, that the Beeb's, or independent production companies
responses thus far are grievously inadequate.

Well, Ray, I can only speak for myself and maybe Mike. We both want to
see that programme, with some voiceover, even shown again or sent out to
those who ask in some useable format.
How they do it is their problem. We just have the right to see it like
everyone else!

Well Barry, Carol and others, I've been following this thread but I am
sort of losing the thread too! What is it that is being demanded to
meet our needs, re. subtitling of programmes? Are we demanding
voice-over always be used? Or, maybe, an alternate transmission with
voice over for those like us - and others - who cannot follow the very
fast changing subtitles? Or, again, maybe that the audio-description
channel be used for this purpose? (Even though not gvery many yet have
access via the Netgem and other devices.
To me it speaks volumes that the deaf community are, or seem to be, far
more readily accomodated than we are. Makes me think that blindness and
its needs are a real no no for those who, elegedly, have such good
aesthetic sensabilities. You would have thought the Beeb, public
service broadcasting and all that, would at least make a real effort to
do something along the lines I've mentioned above. Ray
