Well Abigail, now even I'd need subtitles for NE accent! LOL Just wrankles with me, when we are expected to understand all the different Southern accents, but it doesn't apply the other way around! Christine

I imagine that any viewers north of York would appreciate sub-titles for Eastenders or Coronation Street ? Len

I am not sure actually. If the script is like the dialect my father and mother use to tease me, it is so thick it seems like a completely unrecognisable language! Certainly is not related to English at all. But I don't suppose a television programme would be using that would it? My parents come from the north east of Scotland. Abigail

the first five mins of it was apparently subtitled on the big screen - theres some reason behind it but no-one in the office can remember

By BBC Two's use of subtitles on a Scottish film they are showing at the moment! We don't get subtitles on Eastenders or Coronation St..........so why put them on a Scottish film? Christine
