There is something amiss with the sound on my PC due to other users messing about with speakers I think, so I am unable to listen to any of the lectures nor could I hear the YouTube video posted by STG.

I did watch some of it with subtitles but they spoiled my viewing pleasure.

I just wanted to let you know, in case you weren't aware, that Debbie Kennett is a member of rootschat and author of several books on DNA I believe. She's really helpful and has a knack of being able to explain this complex subject in a way that even I can understand (I think  ;)).

Quick question, do all the videos have sub titles or have I got something switched on on my laptop? I'm finding it quite annoying as often the subtitles cover part of a document that is being shown.

I am not sure Groom (I seldom watch YouTube videos), but I think I clicked on a little icon on the bottom right of the YouTube screen which made the subtitles appear. Maybe you need to "unselect" yours?  :-\ They are pretty dreadful and look like they have been converted to subtitles by a robot.
