BBC America - Neatorama

(YouTube link)

This ad is found at the beginning of American versions of DVDs from the BBC. You think it's an anti-piracy warning, but it turns into a friendly ad for the TV network. Of course, the required amount of British humor is included. -via reddit

John Oliver!

That was great. I like "so Americans can hear words pronounced correctly."

Of course, the foot that was a nod to Monty Python was a great touch, too.

Correctly? Someone should inform the British that the American accent is closer to early modern English than the British one :P

ahaha, I remember seeing this when I got the newest season of Doctor Who on dvd. About two minutes of me going "whaa?" followed by ten minutes of laughter.

..Er, in regards to this promo thing, that is.

We are absolutely addicted to Lark Rise to Candleford - when will series 4 be shown in America or available on NTSC dvd in America? Thanks.
