Default program mnenomics/abreviations on the planner - what do they mean ?

I've looked at the guide but it doesn't seem to have the full range of
options.

For example Midsummer Murders has

AD,W,S

W=Widescreen
S=Sex or nudity (In Midsummer murders ? _ I thought they stuck to killing
rather than ..you know ... "it")
AD ? - Alternitave Drama - Asinine Drama ?

any thoughts ?

AD = Audio Described

You can press Help on your Sky remote and turn it on - its a narrative for
what is happening on screen.
