Ofcom calls for views on speaking electronic programme guides.

Ofcom calls for input on whether TV providers should offer speaking electronic programme guides, a blind football coach; dealing with the bereavement of a loved one and feedback.

Peter White speaks to Peter Bourton, Ofcom's Head of TV Content Policy, about its calls for input on whether TV providers should be doing more to give viewers access to speaking electronic programme guides. At present, only a few providers are offering this service, and Ofcom wants to learn more about the costs and implications for TV providers if they were to include speaking electronic programme guides in future releases of their digital hardware.

We hear some of your feedback on our recent item on eating out. Reporter Tom Walker meets qualified visually impaired football coach Craig Riach and asks him about the pitfalls of coaching football when you can't see. And contributor Dave Williams shares his moving personal thoughts on dealing with making arrangements after the sudden death of a loved one.
