I hear that there are no subtitles on digital tv. If this is true it will be a sad loss
I often watch with the sound off. This started when I needed to be quiet, but has now become my preferred mode
A whole new art form has developed, at least for programmes that can be subtitled in advance. Art form is probably too poncy a word; maybe I just mean a grammar, involving for example the use of placement & colour to indicate to the viewer which words belong to which character
My favourite new piece of grammar should be imported into everyday writing. Irony, or sarcasm, is indicated by the use of ? or ! as appropriate, but each inside brackets
