Clare, A lot of sighted people say they find TV more relaxing than listening
to the radio because the pictures just make it all so easy for them to
follow, while for us it's the other way round. If the programme is audio
described, we're doing a sort of double listen, to the dialogue and to the
description, and if it isn't, we're having to work very hard to work out
what's happening. I suppose that in many cases, we lose out because we
don't benefit from the scenery, or from the action. I don't watch much TV
because it's much easier to listen to a radio play or (More often) to read a
good book.
Trish.

I also read in lots of ways, though I prefer to be busy while listening to
audio, and reserve braille for when I sit down. Which reminds me, Ian, that
I think my resistance to TV does actually have something to do with being
blind. I think this is because I have come to the conclusion that we must be
missing an awful lot visually, because otherwise how would so many otherwise
intelligent sighted people put up with it? I know there are exceptions, but
most of it just sounds dreadful. I am with the people who don't like
scrolling braille. I can read quickly, but like to go back or linger over
particular words at will. Clare
