this is why i love globalization. if they air an episode anywhere in the world, i can get it. i
don't think i'll have a problem with a brit accent. i watch a lot of bbc shows.

i'm no expert but this sounds more like an australian accent, not gb.
then quite honestly sir, you are a wanker who has never heard an aussie speak...
the irony is that the us guy who does the voice over, lives in sydney, australia.

these complaints about this narrator's accent is probably a direct indicator of the cultural
diversity in the complainers area.

of course, the fact that they re-air these shows in the uk and change nothing but the narrator's voice is
probably a direct indicator that the uk is just as xenophobic as north america is. qed.

that's true, they do change the "narrator's voice". a pretty neutral yet distinctively local dialect
is nearly always the key factor in the safe choice of a narrator. celebrities are exempt from this
rule. but i see a lot more complaints about the uk narrator than his us counterpart from people who,
i'm assuming from their grasp of the english language, are probably from na.
we know the british empire once spanned the globe with about a quarter of it's population under it's
control so it's no wonder that in london, for example, it would be hard to find any culture that is
not represented.
