Exciting news for those of you keeping tabs on the development of Audio Description across British television. The BBC, together with ITV and Channel 4, have announced today that they will be making Audio Description services - which allow visually impaired viewers to access an additional audio commentary describing what's happening on screen - available via digital satellite television in a new generation of set-top boxes. You can get more details on this development from the BBC Press Office site.
