Billy Mager's comedy, Text, Batteries and Earwax is now available on YouTube:
Part 2:
A sequel to this is coming out soon, and it's called 'The Association'. A trailer will be online soon, and you can find out more at Deafo.
Great to see more content being available on mainstream sites, good indirect marketing for filmmakers.
UPDATE: Billy sez, "just wanted to point out that I was only an actor in the film! It was written produced and directed by the infamous Reid brothers, Jonathan and Michael".

I love those shows even though I don't understand BSL much. But you guys are so FUNNY!!!! Especially in part 2!
I've been wanting to learn BSL since I use ASL because I think it's interesting to learn different languages.
Hope you'll make some more like those!

Hi - just wanted to point out that I was only an actor in the film! It was written produced and directed by the infamous Reid brothers, Jonathan and Michael.
But I'm sure they'll be pleased to read your comments!

Isn't the title and premise a ripoff from the movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"???

@ Moebius, its always been described as loosely based on Planes Trains and Automobiles, that's the whole point. Deaf version of it.
