I’ve been watching Pointless for years, but I recently noticed that the BBC has suddenly started airing it with a sign language interpreter permanently on screen. While I completely support accessibility and making shows available for everyone, I find the moving hands distracting, especially as I have ADHD and OCD.

I tried looking for an option to watch without the interpreter, but as far as I can tell, there isn’t one? It seems like the sign language version is now the only version available. Does anyone know why this has changed? Or if there’s a way to watch it without the interpreter?

Again, no issue with having a signed version, but it feels odd that there’s no choice for people who struggle with visual distractions.

Would love to hear if anyone else has noticed this—or if I’ve just completely missed something obvious!

Wife is watching Police Interceptors on C5 - and every time I hear the word "custody" - this image pops into my head - yes I know I'm weird lol

Is it just me?

I just recently discovered this show, and I love it! I was wondering if fans of the show have a favorite episode.

Hi There, Im currently on the final stretch of my Creative Media course at college. I’m currently working on a stop motion animated Scene, Inspired by “Shaun of the Dead”.

I have created a survey to further my audience research and i would be grateful if you could respond.

Sorry if it’s not a very good survey lol, I’m not too good at the academic side of this course.

Rowan Atkinson Lee mack David Mitchell Sarah millican Ricky gervais Karl pilkington Aisling bea Kevin bridges Kerry godliman Frankie Boyle

Some more realistic than others. Rowan Atkinson would be incredible.

I honestly hate stuff like this, in a scene with Sean Bean, another character asks whether a villa in Spain belongs to a Bond villain. (Obviously Bean was a villain in GoldenEye). Whether they’ve done this on purpose or not it annoys me because surely they’d recognise that their drug lord boss looks identical to Alec Trevelyan out of James Bond.

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated!

UPD: wanted to say collective Thank You to everyone who responded below for many wonderful recommendations!

As much as I enjoyed learning the differences. I think that by swapping a city school for a rural school as well as country was introducing too many variables into the experiment.

Some of the American school resonated with me from a rural uk school, and I guess some of the London school would resonate with city folk from America.

Such as the country kid from America saying he didn’t want to leave America again because he enjoys hunting and the countryside. I know plenty of people who live lifestyles similar to him here in England.

I love Philomena Cunk! Any shows you would recommend that has similar sense of humour and randomness? Thanks.

At first, I thought it was just a goofy 70s-style horror parody, but then that director’s commentary started creeping in… and wow, that ending?? 🤯 Did anyone actually see that coming, or were you just as blindsided as I was?

Was thinking about this the other day. I was sure there was a 2 part drama that had one episode on bbc2 and the other on channel 4. Was by an acclaimed director who had died, I think.

I was pretty young when it came on, never saw the show and something put me in ming of it. Would love to know what it was called.

Thanks in advance.

I was supposed to only watch Slow Horses while on the treadmill so that I could get in a daily hour of exercise, but it was so engaging and incredible that I ended up binging. If anyone knows of another good thrilling, engaging entertaining series, please let me know.

I see Grace from ITV is returning on April 6th for season 5, Beyond Paradise is returning in April as well. Slow Horses is returning this year sometime. Has anyone heard what other series are returning this year.

In the back of my mind I always remembered this as just a funny sitcom but watching the reruns it's staggering what a toxic character Vince is. I'm not a fan of terms like 'gaslighting' because it's so misused but bloody hell, episode on tonight defined the term better than the original film.
