Subtitling note: unfortunately, Shaetlan is not recognised as a language by YouTube or Google Translate. This has led to the contradictory position of labelling the language used in this film as "English" in order to enable the subtitling function to work for the Shaetlan language, if you wish to read Christie's text. "English (auto-generated)" subtitles - also available in the settings wheel - will struggle with all parts of the film not in Standard English.
