The vast majority of our on-demand programmes are subtitled or have closed captions in English.
Subtitles display only the spoken dialogue, perfect for viewers who don’t need additional audio details. Closed captions (CC), on the other hand, include both dialogue and essential sound effects like [door creaks] or [music playing], making content more accessible.
Subtitles in local languages are also available for on-demand programmes on the BritBox service available in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
All BritBox subtitles and captions are designed to be clear and easy to follow.
You can read more about how to turn on subtitles or closed captions here.
