Well that's exactly what I meant. I mainly watch BBC (the real one) and TV
Finland (which of course doesn't even need to transmit any subtitles). I
certainly don't need subtitles when watching e.g. BBC News - but today, I
watched a recording (VDR of course) of one of the "Inspector Lynley"s, and I
could have occasionally used subtitles. The episode played in Manchester -
and I'm definitely not an expert on these Northern English dialects.

No.
