Please enjoy this wonderful post that djscraig has taken the time and effort to enable us to watch.

Absolutely brilliant mate.

So sick of youtube being the place of negative unjustified comments by people who all they have in their lives is the ability to moan.

@MiLLwallpaul231258 This is a drawback of re-recording narration from a US-originated programme for a UK audience - they have to stick verbatim to the original script, otherwise copyright issues arise. So even though the narration has been re-recorded for UK broadcast, the words stay the same. On all these air accident documentaries on National Geographic etc, you'll invariably hear "airplane" not "aeroplane".
