I'm like, 'Oh ma Gawd!'

I remember being on a Greyhound bus in NY once and the guy next to me started talking to me, but I could barely understand him as he was speaking in friggin' ebonics givin' it all dat 'n shiiiit

Micro$0ft should learn too. There's only one English language, and then there's American - Not English(International), and English(United Kingdom)

the Gawwd dame Yanks can't speak proper like what we do

And whats all this removing letters out of words (colour/color), too Lazy to write/type em

And most of your city/town/place names are stolen from UK too

EDIT: Spelling

Good point - no norks

but who else is there? Tiff Needell? Quentin Willson? Could be Herbert as rusty says.

It has to be someone wed know or theres no point hiding his identity

AAAnnnyyyyway.... from what read on imdb, seems our american cousins are not getting the full deal anyway.... discovery channel is apparently changing the dialogue and mangling it into a 30 min show for the US market.

4Th comment down
"The Discovery Channel now has Tog Gear on. When I first found out, I was very excited, until I actually saw an episode. Instead of what they get in the UK, we get identical footage of the tests, but they decided to re-shoot the commentary in the studio for an American audience. I am very upset over this and feel like the USA is getting short-changed. There is no way the presenters can work up the same amount of enthusiasm (to their credit, they try pretty hard) after watching recycled video footage that they already presented to a UK live audience once before.

On the plus side, they do help us out with sub-titles that convert GBP to USD, but I don't see why this couldn't have been done without re-shooting the entire show. I'm glad it is on and this is better than nothing, but why the brass behind getting us this show thought it necessary to reenact live segments is beyond me"

Found here.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163503/usercomments

Id feel cheated- best to go and find the real episodes to download

Wait a few months and they will be repeated constantly on UKTV People (SkyDigital 566 & 591).
The old series' are running on there currently, usually at 7pm weeknights.
Its on pretty much every night on one channel or another
