Default Channel 5 weirdness

The last couple of nights I've tried to watch films on channel 5 but there seems to be someone narrating on them

As an example, watching In the Line of Fire on there now and she will say stuff like "he hands over a gun" or "the blonde guy walks over to Frank".

Anyone else get this?

If you tell us what sort of digi box you are watching it through then maybe someone here with a similar box can tell you where in the menu to find the setting for the feature.

On ours it is in the language setting, there are TWO options labelled as english, one is without the narration and one is with. Just toggle between the two to switch it off.

Some of my dodgy Thai DVD's have that option of them May Ch5 have resorted to broadcasting hooky copies rather than buying the rights, in the hope that no-one will notice

Its an NTL box and I've already checked there. If it was on surely it would do it on all channels and not just on Channel 5 and on films

On a similar note, when I was watching Ch5 on Saturday night during NCIS & CSI even so often the voices would slow down then catch up again as if the tape was being stretched, anybody else notice this.

I noticed this and I was still sober, well sort of.
