Hmmm!
Darren, it seems to me that they don't think we're noticing! Well,
we're going to have to tell them that we are! <SMILE>

Carol,
I can also report no AD on The Street last night, this was with Sky. I
found
the same thing on Sunday with the EastEnders omnibus. Sadly its not a
new
phenomenon and programmes do appear without AD, or for that matter,
explanation!
I've just noticed an odd thing tonight as well. Channel 5 are showing a
film
at 8pm with AD, following this there is another film being broadcast,
this
time without AD. The odd thing is that the second film has already been
broadcast by Channel 5 with audio description! So why isn't there any
for
tonight's showing? Who knows the whys and wherefores of such things.
Darran
