No Sean, that is quite helpful. Thank you.

So you add the series to your Sky plus recording list or whatever it is called, 
and your digital box then records the episodes automatically when they are 
aired? I may consider upgrading to Sky plus if that is the case. Still though, 
why the damn every simple task has to be an elaborate project for us. 
*frustrated*

Cheers,
Amro

  Amro,

  I've found that many a series on iPlayer  is missing at least one episode
  described, even when that episode has been described on air.  I've never
  received a satisfactory explanation from the BBC as to why this should be,
  despite numerous enquiries when series have been running.

  I have Sky+ now, and simply use that instead.  I'm at least guaranteed my
  audio description that way.

  Not of much help to you I know, but at least you're not losing your marbles.


  Sean.

  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
