Just watched Bill Bailey on Channel Four. Noticed the subtitles were by 'BBC
Broadcast'. Who's that? Some new firm sprung up?

What year was it recorded ?

Might be what we now call 'Red Bee Media', used to be a division of the BBC
which dealt with subtitles, was sold off around 2004.

Red Bee is part of the same group of companies who also own the transmission
masts and towers around the country. Arqiva.

Looking at IMDB. Bill Bailey Live: Part Troll was recorded in 1997, so
it will be what is now Red Bee Media.

Although before that BBC Broadcast was a bigger 'Directorate' at the BBC
  - covering verything that wasn't production or News. That was then
scrapped in the 'petals' organisation in Dyke's tenure.

The name then came back and was used for the 'Broadcasting and
Presentation' department which later became Red Bee
