Hi on this topic as a totally blind person I agree with the original email sender we as totals get a real poor deal with regards to access with sky a massive company. as Pat and I are both total we do feel we loose out though with the iphone accessibility things are better. I cannot understand listening to a program without audio description as you miss so much. sky is not cheap especially when you cannot do a lot of things like a sighted person does it's about time the totals stood up and complained.

I don't have a television, so guess should be the last person to comment on this one. It is my guess that when this particular program is repeated later in the week, it will probably havaudio description.----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott C" <castledine10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 7:50 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: I'm outraged!So should blind people just sit back and except being left out and behind?

Well it's not the end of the world is it. I watch lots of programs without AD because I tend to forget to turn it on after the children have turned it off. Stop making such a drama out of it. That problem of yours is very minor compared to some other blind persons who is sitting in a third world country without a basic means of a telly nevermind AD. Stop magnifying your blindness and learn to live with it as its a sighted world. The world doesn't revolve around blinks. So if AD was switched off then so be it. I'm sure you got along without the introduction of AD. I'm not having a go at you. I'm just pointing out that you can't always have it your way. It's called life. Original message:I'm so pissed off beyond belief! Probably like many people across the country and the world, I woke up early to watch lost, the last episode of it. Yet, for hell knows what reason it's not audio described! Every episode on sky 1 was audio described, yet this last, probably most crusual one is not being audio described! Maybe it's a technical fault and that is probably what it is, but it is so so so not fair! I understand that the episode is being repeated again tomorrow at 9 PM, but it is still unfair that everyone will be talking about it and that I have to wait because sky can't be bothered to fix something thatmight not be importart to the majoritty of viewers, but it is still important!I don't know if any of you watch lost and have just now attempted to watch this last episode, but I would assume you're experiencing the same problem. This is just umbelievable! I'm sorry, this is probably somewhat off topic, but I'm so angry and I had to let it off my chest somewhere and especially since not many other people are awake this time of the morning, this seemed like the perfect place.
