Are they all asleep?
Mind you, if it put anyone off watching Horizon, it was probably for the
good.

IMHO.

Are these captions actually created by the BBC, or in fact
are they all done by Red Bee?

Poor argument. Everyone makes mistakes. That's why Quality Assurance was
invented.

Captions (especially those that might be seen by millions of viewers) should
be written by one person, and checked by another (preferably a nit-picking,
anal-retentive, annoying git). That way you wipe out the vast majority of
mistakes. Some, like this one, would almost certainly never get through.

I made a mistake a few years ago. I thought I'd made a mistake but I was
wrong!

Reminds me of the
DOCTER IN THE HOUSE
break-bumper I saw on Granada TV a long time ago.
Long enough ago for it to have been an actual graphic card.

Sorry Brian. It's a screen capture from BBC HD, of a caption.
It says in large letters:
BBC HD
NEXT
Horzion

It is part of the BBC's all encompassing mission to accomodate
people with every kind of disorder, this time dyslexia.

And could somebody answer my question please --
are these captions created by the BBC or Red Bee?

Is the mistake the typo or the claim that it is HD?
Discuss.
