A few years ago, our Editor Charlie Swinbourne made this Lipreading Challenge video for the BBC’s Ouch disability website.
Since it’s Lipreading Awareness Week, how many can you get right? Charlie wrote an article about going to a lipreading class at the same time as making the video, which you can read here.

Duh! I’m just an idiot! But we (I like to think this is an inclusive plot) keep trying!!! 🙂
