The World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys (2019)
Very poor pronounciation for New Zealand Episode
16 January 2021 - 4 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
It appears that the Narrator (Bill Nighy) was provided with no guidance on pronunciation of place names in the New Zealand episode and no review of the narration was done by anyone with knowledge of New Zealand. Mountain and region names are almost incomprehensible for New Zealanders or those with knowledge of New Zealand. The episode is an embarrassment for this accomplished actor and questions regarding the production crew.
The episode could benefit from re-recording of the narration and leaves question marks regarding pronunciation in other episodes in the series.
Given the narrative structure of the trip is from North to South the editing has resulted in some notable moments that are clearly out of chronological order.
