P'tang Yang Kipperbang on Channel 4...
...at 12.35 this Monday (22nd May) night!
shareI'm gonna watch it.
shareYippee !!! Why do Channel 4 show this BRILLIANT film at an hour when the target audience can't watch it ?
They should be proud of it, and advertise it and put it on a Saturday night at 9pm.
I'm watching too, even though I have to be up early!
I've never seen it but am a big fan of Alison Steadman and have high hopes for it. Only an hour to go!

cant believe they've put that on. not that im inconsiderate of deaf viewers, but arent the optional subtitles meant to cater for them?
stick to big brother channel 4
Yeah the signin thing is a big pain in the ass. Was lookin forward to seeing this again but this has really kyboshed it. Oh well maybe it wasn't meant to be. Sad though.
shareAgree with everything here. Why can't Channel 4 sort a DVD release?
shareWhat about the voice-over during the end-credits?
After that beautiful and touchingly innocent romantic
final scene, over the end titles:-
"NEXT ON FOUR COVERAGE FROM THE HOUSE IN BIG BROTHER LIVE"
I wouldn't have minded so much if it'd been for "Countdown"!
Which reminds me, this film should have been on at a time
for schoolchildren to enjoy (but perhaps today's kids would
prefer Big Brother. George Orwell must be birlin' in his grave)
I've recorded it (the film!) and will probably hang on to it.
After all, it's better than nothing. I mean - when's it going
to be on again?
I've only seen one other film signed like that - again late on
Channel 4 - "Peter's Friends" a while back.
Yeah she was a bit distracting! I got used to it after a while and started trying to match up her signals to the words lol and then having to rewind (I taped it) it to rewatch the scene and pay attention.
I thought it was an amazing film though :) Highly recommended!
I saw this film for the first time last night, purely out of curiosity. Even the woman doing the signing couldn't annoy me because the film was just so perfectly done. It is a wonderful film and I totally identified with Alan and his continuing dilemmas at school.
"They will take us and they'll make us human slaves in an insect nation."
I enjoyed it a lot, great film! I do agree though, the signing lady was very distracting.
P'Tang, Yang, Kipperbang, uh!
What a film! I was pleasantly surprised when I wathched this film as I had never heard of it before. Loved how they tied the cricket match narration into the story!
sharethe signing was a bit of a bugger, but it was quite funny to note the signed translation of "self-abuse", one action I think we're all familiar with. I was also interested in the location, it looked kinda familiar but I couldn't place it. In the credits I noticed Wimbledon Chase school, the area is about a mile from me, but anyone know the locations?
shareSubtitles only work while you are watching the film 'live', and considering most people would record a film that was on this late, subtitles would be useless.
Which means the sign language woman is necessary.
"We're making a film here, not a movie."
This depends on the decoder/recorder setup.
