I just bought this on DVD and figured it would be the British version since I bought it over here. Its probably the same with Americans, everyone likes a bit of familiarity. Although - off topic - if I watch something American, I like it BECAUSE its American, with its cultural nuances. But, the good shows that come out of the UK don't seem to do well in USA, they usually insist on reshooting with an American cast. Maybe they don't get our humour or understand our regional accents...

[Razgriz100000]

@hammyzone Well yes the cultural differences between Us and the UK either make or break the shows that come out of either country. I will say though, although i am an American, my most favorite show is the UK version of Top Gear. They've started recording American versions here and i hate it. I love Jeremy, Richard, and James.

My most favorite show of all time.

hehe, sorry dude. We abuse vowels as well. Her pronounciation of the word 'Concorde' is especially irritating though. I'm not the least bit anti-American, but I don't like American narration on factual programmes. Air Crash Investigation is a good example - I will trawl the net to find the British version of the episode first, even though the script and video is identical.

@hammyzone Yup i know dude, for some reason us americans like women narrating our stuff...lol And i know theres a male narrator version that aired over in the UK but this was the only version i could get my hands on.

[hammyzone]

The narrator to this DVD is awful. She sounds like some crappy text-to-speech voice robot. Its "Concorde" lady, not "Caaaancorde". Stupid Americans with their vowel abuse.

None of that can take away from Concorde's beauty. Other than her shitty voice over, this is a good DVD.

[Razgriz100000]

@hammyzone Although i agree with you about the voice, go easy with the american thing. I am one dude.
