Thanks for the thoughts so far everybody. Yes, we have tried subtitles and do use them but again there are very mixed views about them and not all films have them. I like the idea of experimenting with headphones and domestic speakers, that could provide some interesting insight. It may well that we have another pair of speakers that we can try halfway or further down the hall. We have volumes of largely unexplored items squirrelled away so who knows.
Incidentally with regard to reviews of the Copperfield film, IMDB shows a remarkable split between those who like it, giving 8 or 9/10, and those who really don't, 1, 2 or 3/10. I am in the latter category, as were most of the audience, hence the imperative to fix things before we lose them.
