Hi Paul - Blast from the past eh? Hope you are doing well, down there in the big smoke. I understand that when I unsubscribe, I will be able to retain 5 along with some other stations, including my favourite radio station Radio 2. Unfortunately, I don't think that Audio Description will be available, for example, on the few movies channel 5 broadcast per week. I may be wrong and it would be very nice if I was, as I'd really miss the AD. Without it, there is just no point in having a TV. Very best wishes. In case you still cannot remember, I was the social worker with the blind for Glasgow when you worked in the Mitchell Library.
