Yes I remember the Bob Newhart one very well.
I was listing to a radio channel on Alexa last night called Sci Fi Old time
radio, and low and behold they played an old original Star trek, and a
next generation complete with audio description it said, done by the Sci Fi
Channel. This begs the question, then if these stations can get hold of AD
stuff, why do we not get it on the repeats of these shows on Freeview? There
is something broken here where it seems the AD does not travel with the
original shows. The fact that one assumes these tracks were done by UK
companies might well suggest that the place a lot of the Freeview channels
are getting them from is the original, and thus completely bypassing the AD
specifically done for the UK.
This sort of thing also goes on with films and other series as well. It
seems that not all freeview transmitters are even capable of AD as the flag
vanishes on my Samsung sets on film and legend channels, where as the ones
with AD do not always show AD except for the commercials where these exist.
I think the word shambles describes it well.
