Heck, you'd have thought there were some kind of Deaf Awareness Week going on if you turn on your digital TV.
On Thursday 6 May from 3:30pm to 11:30pm (approx) tune into BDA Sign TV, brought to you on Open Access channel 687 on Sky Digital.
This is the second time that the British Deaf Association have taken over the channel - the first was back on 18 March. During this eight-hour slot, you'll see a multitude of signed films including factual programmes, government info films and a new soap for 11-16 year-olds on personal safety.
In the same week, why not drop in on the Community Channel (Sky, cable and Freeview)? On the front page of their website, they promise: "Great short films by up-and-coming deaf film-makers, covering subjects from dating, first love and loss, the dance music and drug scene and a deaf 'take' on the Quentin Tarantino classic, Reservoir Dogs.
Meanwhile on the BBC, don't forget to tune in to Pet TV. Ahem.
