Let the end credits roll and remain readable on streaming services

Michael Hogan’s piece on the nuking of title sequences quotes Nicholas Britell saying: “I’m very against being pulled away from the end credits” (‘I don’t let my wife use it’ – great TV theme tune composers savage ‘skip intro’, 14 April). While streaming providers may often facilitate viewers’ choice to keep these running, that doesn’t mean they’re legible. All 4, the streaming service run by Channel 4, shrinks the view of the programme you’re watching into a very small space on the screen while the end credits roll. This, arguably, falls foul of the reasonable adjustments required under legislation for those with impaired vision.
