well they never describe anything good i mean look at the new spartacus
drama, why is that not described?
A hit apparently in the US yet we get nothing. The old stuff like
casualty which is to old in the tooth now and quite frankly rubbish lol
always get described yet never anything worth watching like spartacus
starting tonight on bravo, lost, etc

>> Hi Mike. It wasn't the actual message that got my goat this morning.
It was the tone of it. Of course we should be on a level playing field
as our sighted counter parts on numerous levels and that includes
transport and general technology. What I was trying to get across was
that it's not a huge catastrophy if something wasn't recorded in AD for
one episode. There have been plenty of ocations where Corrie hasn't been
recorded with AD and yes it's a nucense on a entertainment level but hay
as I said we can't always have it our way. I'm not saying that people
should put up with this if such errors are made on a regular basis but
if its the odd program once in a while then I don't think it's a huge
deal for me personally.
