Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

1 Nov 05, 12:00 AM - Sky Movies audio description bonanza

Posted by Crippled Monkey

Is it just me, or have the Sky Movies channels suddenly started to get lots of good and current films with audio description?

If you have a satellite reciever on your telly, and subscribe to all the premium movie channels from Sky, this week you'll be able to enjoy: 13 Going On 30, Around the World in 80 Days, Shaun of the Dead, Elf, Two Weeks Notice, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Troy, and even old favourite Shirley Valentine.

If you don't know yet, Audio Description is an extra bit of narration that accompanies the original soundtrack of a TV show or film and explains some of the visual stuff for people who can't see it. It can make a big difference.

More info

• For more on audio description generally look at Ouch's guide to Audio Description.

tvhelp.org.uk is a great website with TV listings of audio described shows on Sky and Freeview.

Happy viewing.
