“As another pointed out, the bulk of the stuff running on PBS under the brand names “Nova” or “Nature” blow Gore away.
PBS does better documentation without the conspiracy overtones, IMHO.”
That’ll be because most of the Nova’s you see are actually repackaged “Horizon” programmes from the BBC….
All they do is re-narrate it by someone with an american accent, and change the metric measurements into US Imperial.
Because, apparently, Americans have difficulty in understanding a perfect Recieved English accent (a la BBC announcers) and become confused when people talk about Kilos, Metres, etc… 😉
Next time you watch one, see if you recognise the narrator in the credits. Chances are it will be Andrew Sachs, and then you’ll know for sure it was made in the UK.
