GREAT British Menu viewers were up in arms last night after the show subtitled partially deaf chef Mark Aisthorpe. The Derbyshire chef is battling it out to represent the North East and Yorkshire at a banquet meal celebrating 100 years of the BBC.
Viewers questioned the use of subtitles, insisting they were patronising and unnecessary given they could understand Mark without them.
One wrote on Twitter: "Providing subtitles for a partially deaf chef who speaks clear English is shameful. There are much worse speakers on TV who don't get subtitles. #GreatBritishMenu." Another posted: "Just a bit of #CasualAbleism from greatbritishmenu only subtitling the partially deaf chef.
Super patronising too as it's totally unnecessary." A third said: "It's great to have a deaf chef on #GreatBritishMenu - he may need to lipread but I can understand Mark perfectly well without the subtitles, no need to patronise either him or us." Mark, who has worked with heavyweight chefs Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing, brought plenty of fun to the kitchen.
