I watched Megafactories recently on the Bentley or Jaguar (or both!) and they 100% said Burl and being Pommy brands I took it as given.
But thinking about now the narrator was American...

This also gets me thinking about the narrator on Mythbusters whom changes pronunciations between segments let alone episodes.
Turns out he lives in Sydney (and narrates from there) was born in England and caters for US and Canadian markets!

Yes, Mythbusters is a 'trans-Pacific' or 'trans-Atlantic' show. I believe that the production company is Aussie as well. It is named 'Beyond Productions', which is the same crowd who used to make 'Towards 2000 & & Beyond 2000'.

It is shows like this (& of course the internet), that will eventually lead to an international version of English, instead of this US English, Aussie English & English English we have currently.

I have read it gets different voice over narrators in different parts of the world. It's a real pity the world is going American English. Last week on the news I heard "Trailer Park just north of Coffs Habour", earlier Wild Fires in the Blue Mountains and Diapers were needed to be purchased on the Footy Show. As for it (Mythbusters) being Australian production I'd say your 100% correct as they do refer to the crew sometimes as Aussies. Anyway just observations...
