E4 airing The Inbetweeners Movie tonight with in-vision British Sign Language across the UK

A somewhat unusual accessibility broadcast is happening on UK television tonight that may be of interest here. The Inbetweeners Movie is airing on E4 from **11:35pm to 1:35am**, and this particular transmission includes **in-vision British Sign Language (BSL)** alongside subtitles and audio description. For those unfamiliar with the film, it follows the four central characters from the TV series The Inbetweeners, played by Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas. After finishing their A-levels and leaving sixth form behind, the group travel to Crete for what they expect will be a classic lads’ holiday. Predictably, things do not go to plan and the trip turns into a string of awkward situations and increasingly chaotic misadventures. Content-wise, the film carries strong warnings. It features **very strong language from the beginning and throughout**, along with **gross-out humour and scenes of a sexual nature**. While the tone remains consistent with the series, the film format allows it to push the comedy further than the original show did in places. One practical detail worth noting if anyone in the UK wants to watch the **signed version**: the BSL broadcast **will not be available for streaming afterwards**, so if you want to watch it later you will need to **record the television broadcast**. The reason given relates to film licensing and rights windows. Films often have more complicated distribution agreements than standard television programmes, which can limit how alternative versions—such as signed broadcasts—are distributed online. However, there is some positive news for the future. Channel 4 has indicated that improvements are being worked on for its streaming service that should make it possible to host **more signed programming**, including more series and potentially films as well. So while this particular broadcast is limited to linear TV for now, it may not always be the case going forward. For anyone watching in the UK, E4 is widely available across television platforms. On digital terrestrial services such as Freeview, TalkTalk TV, YouView and EE TV it appears on **channel 13**. Virgin Media carries it on **channel 106**, while satellite viewers will find it on **Sky Q channel 135 (136 in Scotland)** and **Freesat channel 122**. Internet-delivered TV platforms also carry the channel, including **Sky Glass and Sky Stream on channel 126**, and the **Freely** platform on **channel 13**. Also worth acknowledging: thanks to **Jonathan Penny, Access Services Manager at Channel 4**, who confirmed the signed broadcast and continues to support accessibility work like this. Signed broadcasts of scripted comedy films are still relatively uncommon on mainstream TV, so it is interesting to see one scheduled like this.
