In my experience inside the UK the audio description sometimes works and sometimes does not work. I wonder if this is because the audio described version is sometimes (often?) available later than the standard version. If so that would mean that you got the standard version if you downloaded the show shortly after it was broadcast, but if you waited a few days then you might get the audio described version. Does that match anyone's experience? I will try and check this next time I download anything.
