BBC Two - See Hear, Series 40, Episode 3

A sneak peak into life on the frontline through personal stories from the BSL community. 

Yvonne and Julian get a sneak peak into life on the frontline through personal stories from the British Sign Language community.  

Yvonne and Julian are still at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode, Yvonne and Julian get a sneak peak into life on the frontline through personal stories from the British Sign Language community.  

Ashley Kendall learns how BSL was recognised by the government as a language in its own right in 2003 as a result of the biggest march in Deaf history, which took place in London in 2000. He also finds out how the Deaf community reacted at the time when it was announced that BSL has been recognised. Was the march in vain? 

The archive strand showcases Clive Mason’s first appearance on See Hear in 1984 – the first time a BSL-user became an anchor presenter, a moment that has become a pivotal landmark in Deaf history. 

Yvonne has been making the most of downtime in lockdown to come up with new recipes. In this episode, she demonstrates a quick and easy dish that can be made from ingredients in your cupboards - chimichangas. 

To round off the episode, Yvonne and Julian find out the story behind Sam and Matthew Calder-Bray’s Instagram account Two Deaf Dads. What was it that inspired them to set up the account to inspire and inform hundreds of people?
