Can I remove audio description?

Sometimes only the audio described or signed versions of a programme are available on 成人快手 iPlayer. The audio description is听built into that version听and can't be removed.听

If you can't find the听original version of the episode, it's because that听version of the programme has expired. The accessible version of a programme is often broadcast a few days after the standard version, so there will be a period where the AD or sign language versions are the only versions available.
