EE - unintentionally funny subtitles

I've mentioned this in another thread already, but did anyone else notice how the subtitles for Pat's final scene were unintentionally funny, as when David walked back through the bedroom door, the subtitles read "PAT CROAKS" - and I thought "That's a bit disrespectful! And I'm sure she's still talking!" Not the best interpretion of Pat greeting David on his return! :D

    "Pat croaks" has made it into the Radio Times too - see p143 of the 14-20 January issue. (OK, so it was me who emailed the RT but I'm not really trying to show off!) ;)

    Welcome to DS. :)

    Did you spot that one too then? :) Or did you read all about it here first? ;):D

    Well done for getting into the RT anyway - will take a look at that! :D

    I spotted the subtitles in the Eastenders omnibus, then went online to see if it had been picked up elsewhere. That brought me to DS!

    I always chuckle at (PANTS) as a subtitle. I get that there is no other way to write it but it just gets me everytime.

    Maybe slightly childish but hey, if it makes me laugh I couldnt care less.

    I missed the (Pat Croaks) subtitle and I always have subtitles on as I work with deaf adults and it's just become habit at home now...

    Looking forward to future posts on this thread :)
