Yes, don't assume that just because iPlayer is available thru a smart
TV, that you will also be able to get audio description on it.
You correctly point out that there is presently no audio description on
iPlayer for iPhone. This may encompass all mobile devices via web or app
actually, I haven't checked.
So, yes, if you want audio description on iPlayer via iPhone, then email
and tell them.

No this isn't actually what they are trying to do.
Their tv has the iPlayer plugin, which is presumable the same as
the version on our mobile phones and tablets. On the iPlayer app for the
iPhone, and if you go to the mobile iPlayer website Audio Description is
not an option so maybe we need to query the BBC on this and if they have
a solution fine but I can't see at the moment we would update the
version on a Smart TV, presumabley there would be software updates of
some sort.
You might like to email them as per the below email address.
Do try to point out what you love from iPlayer and what you get
out of it as well. Be constructive and positive. Offer to help test if
you have that kind of time free.

Hi,
Is your friend's tv using sky?
If so, you need to go to setings and choose narater.
Select it to inform you if the next programme is AD.
Hope this might help?
