dormouse1953I was listening to the radio this morning but the TV was on with the sound off showing the BBC news channel as I'd been looking at the headlines. A home video clip caught my attention. Not wanting a voice speaking over the extract from Mahler's 2nd symphony that was playing, I switched on the subtitles for the deaf and wound the programme back to watch the clip.
The clip shows a strange animal in someone's garden in Lyme Regis in Dorset. The subtitles at the end stated, "They are not sure if it's a kangaroo or a wannabe."
The BBC had been providing live subtitling now for at least 30 years. I remember hearing (but not seeing at the time) that they'd tried it out for their coverage of the royal wedding back in 1981, when there were several references to the duck of Edinburgh. Looks like the technology still isn't perfect.
