RNID calls for subtitling in Peterborough cinema
Brian Lamb, of the RNID, has called for Showcase Cinemas in Peterboroguh to, "stop behaving like muggles and join the 230 UK cinemas who show films with subtitles every week", after nine year old Calum Daly - who is profoundly deaf - complained that he was unable to enjoy the latest Harry Potter film with his hearing friends.
Brian continued: "Showcase is missing a trick by failing to install subtitling kit, which costs the same as a disability ramp. Youngsters such as Calum, grandparents treating kids on school holidays, and everyone who loves the big screen but sometimes struggles to hear what's being said, would all be chuffed to bits. With nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK, it's not just Calum who wants subtitles."
