Signed for the Hard of Hearing

Good job there's no actual news that needs reporting, you know something like an invasion, that would really interfere with the Olympic coverage on the BBC. For those of us with digital or satellite we could get the real BBC news via their 24-hour news channel; well kind of.

The screen had been shrunk to allow a signer to fit into the bottom right corner. At first he wasn't too distracting, but then he started to drift leftwards. He started off with his head straddling the border between the screen and the white space then his head was fully into the screen, then the border ran down the side of his body. As he was two-thirds up and one-third across this meant two-ninths of the screen was removed; not covering anything up just distracting.

What can I say I'm all for signing on programmes, but there's got to be a way of disabling it for those of us who don't need it. It's like taking two-thirds of a stair away to build a ramp leaving everyone with a foot wide strip to use - penalise the majority to accommodate the minority.
