Village Cinemas has begun making Open Captions screenings available, which we gladly welcome. We want open caption screenings in cinemas, where the closed captions are displayed on the big screen, just like on televisions or streaming services. And even when it is, up to half of the dialogue is usually missing. It means you barely get to watch what’s on screen.Īnd that’s assuming the device is working, which it often isn’t.

During the movie you have to constantly glance away from the screen at the device, which displays a line or two of text at a time in glaring green LED. The larger cinemas in Australia sometimes provide a closed captioning device called a ‘CaptiView’, which is a large bulky piece of equipment that you put in the drink holder and awkwardly place in front of you. Becoming one of the world’s most successful boy sopranos at the age of 12, he has since released over 40 albums and has more than 40 silver, gold and platinum discs.ĭescribed by the New York Times as a performer ‘who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Frank Sinatra’, Russell Watson’s debut album The Voice saw him hold the top spot in the UK charts for an unprecedented 52 weeks in 2001, while also topping the charts in the USA, making him the first British male artiste to attain a simultaneous transatlantic #1.I have profound hearing loss in both ears, and as such I have always experienced difficulties accessing films at the cinema.

And to get to share a stage again during our UK tour later this year will be such a special experience after three years apart. We had a really tough time choosing from so many magnificent Christmas songs, but we’ve whittled it down to a fabulous selection of tracks which truly mean something to us both. Russell Watson adds, “ Aled and I had a great time recording our first two albums, so I’m immensely excited to be back in the studio together working on our third. We always have a blast on tour, so getting to sing our favourite Christmas songs together in so many stunning venues later this year will be a real treat! You never know, Traffic Cone might even make an appearance…and hopefully Chicago has given Russ the chance to brush up on his dancing skills!”
