Simple, but yes, obvious mistake. Who cares.

Might seem like a small thing, but it's the thin end of the wedge.

Don't know, people fixating on more important things instead?

Bloody hell, I thought presenters saying "somethink" was bad enough. 2 spells in one short sentence is terrible. And this is important!

The person writing the sub titles should have nothing more important to think about than getting it right.

Just watched the original. It’s correct.
So it’s either been sorted out or someone’s been messing.
I suspect the latter because there’s no comments on the item post and the great British public are very quick to pick up on things like this
It was a specific edit for the Facebook page which is captioned so you obviously don’t need the sound up to watch. It’s not the same team that subtitle the programmes.Makes you think...

They’re automatic done by voice recognition then sometimes if possible checked a later stage.

They probably still use it but it should be checked before release, I guess this one got through.

Jeez, posting on here as a humorous grammar nazi (are we still allowed to use that word?) thread is one thing, but actually posting on the Twitter feed, which is actually an item about a lad with no legs, is just.. just... er, well, how things are these days I suppose.
(and not just one twit! Over and over!
)

Are you sure? A couple of years back my understanding was taht it was still humans doing the subtitling with an increasing degree of computer assistance

I think in this case Martyn knows better Drac.

Much of the live subtitling is still done by computer and it is often laughably bad.
Pre-recorded content is usually done by humans though AFAIK.

(I wake up very early sometimes)
The BBC presenter at 0500 this morning said that french actress Catherine Denueve had come out publically "defending men's right to hit women".
I was duly outraged, until the correction ten minutes later to "men's right to hit on women".
Now I am not sure if I should be outraged, or why.
