Subtitles On Television

[Stargazer]

I often miss parts of dialogue on tv so am accustomed to having the subtitles on. For live instant translations which must appear automatically it is hilarious what can come up. The trouble is that it happens so quickly I can't recall these to give an example. But do any of you know what I mean?

Yes I do, Stargazer. That Janet Jazz,Jaz Jam was a great player at Man Utd !.

I was watching the cricket one day and the commentator said "Alastair Cook will be wanting more runs." The was subtitled as "Alastair Cook will be wanting morons."

I was born in the Chinese year of the monkey, I think it would have been more fun to have been born in the Chinese year of the *** !.

I know what you mean Star, and its so annoying, as I use them most times.

The subtitles on the BAFTA tonight were terrible, as they cant keep up, and also the News.
The TV company's also say they cant do subtitles on catch-up, as they are too difficult to insert, crazy?

On Amazon, with the Fire-stick they are perfect, all the time for some reason.

I enjoy them especially the really off colour ones!
