Hi,

I am sorry to sound horrible, but what exactly will RNIB do to help
audiodescribe the programmes? They do give themselves all sorts of
credits, don't they. I think RNIB is our saviour!

Hi James
If it’s specifically Doctor Who you’re after, you may find it interesting to
know if you don’t already that many classic episodes were released as
described TV soundtracks in audiobook form. Audible has a large collection
and there are several volumes with specific themes you can buy.

Hi Steve
Okay I was only going by what I was told, however if audio description
is
coming to BritBox that can only be a good thing. They also need to work
on
accessibility issues with the app as the player screen is not very
accessible at the moment especially with voice-over, can’t say about
android
has haven’t tested it. They will get there though :-) it’s a promising
service.

Hi Ibrahim,

I’m not sure the age of the programme has any bearing on it.  Some
programmes have had AD added recently, even though they are old
programmes.

All the best

Hi Jeff
At the present time there is no audio described programming on BritBox.
I
understand that there are plans to introduce some audio described
programs
however as a lot of the material on BritBox is vintage/older material,
for
which audio description has not been recorded, I’m not sure what form
and
how much programming will be audio described in the coming months if
any.
