One on (government funded) SBS which as far as I'm aware is untouched from the American version. The DJ sounding guy. That's the one I watch since it was the first and has the most recent episodes. On fully commercial 7 they run parts of a show as a segment of another show (can't remember the name) and the replace the voice over/narrator guy with an Australian. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

Mythbusters is by Beyond Productions which is an Australian company anyway

Mythbusters is by Beyond Productions which is an Australian company anyway Yeah the 7 version is tied up with another Beyond production. They have a few Aussies in the crew I know. For an Aussie the accent stands out on the few occasions they say something. I guess making it a fully Australian show wouldn't quite have worked. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)
