Absolutely. It doesn't make sense and very annoying And more to the point a
shameful waist of the BBC's resources. When the money has already been invested
in audio describing a program and then they, (forgot to put it online), I think
then someone has to answer for that. Incidentally, I have been trying to find
an email address to write to the BBC about this but with no success. Anyone has
an address please? Quick before my sour mode subsides *smile*
Cheers,

The BBC Iplayer audio description does seem to be a bit hit and miss on
occasions. Frustratingly I tried to give them some feedback on the Iplayer beta
before it was finally released but even found the feedback process to
inaccessible. That said it's all pretty good though, but I like you have found
sometimes audio described episodes don't come on Iplayer. Must be down to human
error rather than not intending to put them on as missing out occasional
episodes wouldn't make sense.

Hello all,
Does it happen that you get TV series half audio described? I mean a TV
series with only some of its episodes audio described?
I am trying to find the audio described versions of the current episodes of
Reggie Perrin and Being Human on BBC iPlayer but they don't seem to be there.
Unless I am going senile, I am sure last week's instalments were audio
described!
Sorry if this is a basic question but, believe it or not, I started paying
attention to the audio description feature only very recently. I gave audio
description a go a couple years back but found it to be intrusive. I tried it
again in the past few weeks but I am finding it to be very useful this time!
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Amro
