As far as I know, all PBS channels offer closed-captioning as well as descriptive programming comments.
Of course, this is only offered when the closed-captioning is already on the original material.
Check your online listings.
For example, Inspector Lewis is listed as:

Sun10/189:00-10:30pm13WNET NEW HD CC STEREO
Sun10/189:00-10:30pm886WNET NEW HD CC STEREO

The CC indicates Closed Captioning.
I believe most, if not all of the newer PBS mystery/masterpiece programming is closed captioned.

That being said, I just checked the recordings I made of the last two Poirot episodes from PBS and there is no closed captioning.
I guess it's pot luck.
