My father recently emailed the BBC asking for a list of subtitled BBC DVDs and got this reply:

Unfortunately this is complete nonsense and typical of the BBC, there are many releases with these product references yet without subtitles. Examples below, many more on the site.

The email sounded rather facile, thanks for letting us know Mat!

Oh well, it's the way of the world!
