I was excited to find out the new series of Waterloo Road would be airing in January. I watched the first episode live last week, which was fab. It then said you could watch the rest of the series on BBC iPlayer. I went onto the streaming service only to discover that none of the other episodes had audio description available.

Why is it that sighted people can binge watch series at their leisure and yet blind and visually impaired people have to wait each week for a new episode with audio description? Plus, why isn’t the rest of the Waterloo Road series from previous years not audio described? I’ve tweeted the streaming service and the show twice plus sent a formal complaint to The BBC to raise this issue. As I write this, I am still waiting for a response.

This is not fair or inclusive and is why I am continuing my campaign for audio description to be available on all films, TV programmes and streaming services! Please continue to sign and share my petition! #ADForAll #DescribeIt
