Well Darran I'll remember that the nexdt time I'm looking for bait. (smile.)

I must admit I've warmed somewhat to AD, but I don't watch many programmes 
carrying it.  It's mainly sport, the news and documentaries for me, with some 
Coronation Street and Emmerdale when I can be bothered.

    I too use the Guardian TV Listings page.  No it doesn't tell you AD 
information, but I find it especially useful for what's on Sky Sports channels, 
which don't use AD anyway.

      Hi James.

      I use the Guardian Newspaper's TV Guide at:
      http://www.guardian.co.uk/TV/bbc1_carlton.html  I know this is for BBC 1, 
but when you get onto the site you can check out all channels.

      However, the Guardian does Not have much information unfortunately.  For 
example, they don't let you know if something is described, but it's free.  I 
also use Sky's AD Schedule at: http://www.tvhelp.org.uk/audes/schedule.php  
This tells you what is described today and I think you can look up any day in 
the coming week.

      Very best wishes.

      Andy.

        Hello all, I used to use the MSN TV guide as it was the best out there, 
giving info on audio description, sign language, subtitles, and it used to even 
give me series information (episode number and title etc). However this is no 
longer available. I tried the Sky guide, and it was ridiculously inaccessible. 
So, which TV guides do people recommend? I need it to cover more than the basic 
5 channels as I have Sky here.
