Is that Len Carlson doing the voice over for "The Fifth Estate" and "A Gift to Last"? He used to do a lot of CBC voice overs - including those many Kraft commercials they ran in the 1970s - as well as animated series like "The Undersea Adventures of Captain Nemo" and "Rocket Robin Hood".
@robatsea2009 I don't think that's Len Carlson... I think he was exclusively a CTV voiceover guy, while he did do outside cartoon work. The voice sounds slightly different.
A cheesy, campy music special, an in-depth news program, and a low-budget Canadian historical costume drama. So quintessentially Canadian!

@robatsea2009 Wasn't Bob Boving also the voice of CBC for many years?

yes, for nearly twenty years but I didn't think he started at the CBC until the mid-1980s
