What to Watch:

The first movie to be screened with BSL signing is Barbie (Signed). Join us on Sky Cinema Comedy tomorrow:

About Barbie (Signed):

When Margot Robbie's seemingly perfect life takes a turn for the worse, she escapes Barbieland with Ryan Gosling and ventures into the real world. This 2023 film is 110 minutes long and will be presented with BSL signing.

Worth pointing out Sky Cinema Comedy (or whatever it would become when it is transformed as one of the pop-up channels) is not one of the stations that is listed by Ofcom this year to require subtitling, sign language and audio discribed, but on a voluntary basis, it's a plus. But six of the Sky Cinema channels (Premiere, Select, Greats, Family, Animation, Action) do, full requirement. (The link on the broadcasting code on access services is here)
