Episode 32

British Sign Language magazine. Arts special paying tribute to Tony Hart and looking at his landmark programme Vision On, which was designed for hearing and non-hearing children.

This week’s See Hear is an arts special. We review the fifty year career of the late Tony Hart, the television artist who inspired generations of children. We take a look at his landmark programme Vision On which was designed for both deaf and hearing children, using little dialogue but communicating with quirky, sometimes surreal animation, art, sign and performance. With tributes from his daughter Carolyn Ross, on screen colleagues Sylvester McCoy and Wilf Lunn and Aardman Animations - the creators of Morph - we find out about the man behind the art.

Two young deaf winners of the National Youth Disability Film Awards talk us through their Wallace and Gromit inspired animation and we visit deaf music ensemble Hi-Notes who last year beat thousands of hearing entrants to perform their composition at the Schools Prom at The Royal Albert Hall.

And we meet the casting director in a race against time to find a young deaf actor for a major new CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ comedy drama.
