The narrator?

so, I saw a documentry in london about the sense of self or something and they talked about a "narrator" in our minds that comes up with rational reasons for why we do what we do.

Do you have info on that show, or the location of the narrator in our brains

Answer:
I am not sure of what they meant. Freud believed that the ego was what kept us balanced between the demands of the id and the supper ego. The id is the part that demands satisfaction while the super ego is the part the controls how we view the "tho should do" or "tho should not do" part of our mind. The ego balances the demands of the other two parts and determines what we do. This could be considered "narrating the script that is has developed.
Metaphorically speaking, I would refer to the ego as the narrator which presents thoughts to our consciousness.

We can be aware of those thoughts that the ego presents to nurture itself, and thus, not be controlled by or obsessed with them.
