Re: Spaceship Earth Narrator...
My sons only use like were it's appropriate. I think it might be a regional thing.
I think they should either pay the money and get Patrick Stewart or may be John De Lancie (Q).

Re: Spaceship Earth Narrator...
Does anyone know the name of the woman who narrated the Living Seas film before the Nemo-conversion? I would take her as a narrator over Judi Dench - but only with a better written script too...

Um, are you getting the Land and Living Seas confused? The Living Seas has the film about how it "rained and it rained...the deluge" as how the oceans were formed...Amy wrote:Or maybe the Living with the Land lady....I love the part with "the deluge"mindflipper wrote:Does anyone know the name of the woman who narrated the Living Seas film before the Nemo-conversion?

The Livings Seas narrator was Kathleen Turner and she has a wonderful voice. She's done some voice overs for Discovery and History channels.mindflipper wrote:Um, are you getting the Land and Living Seas confused?

Re: Spaceship Earth Narrator...
Jeremy Irons by far. As others have already stated, his script was better, but his voice was a much better fit than Dench IMO. That's not meant as a slam toward her, just a preference for Jeremy's work as the narrator.

I've never been able to find out - no website had even a name, less confirmed it.Jacca5660 wrote:The Livings Seas narrator was Kathleen Turner and she has a wonderful voice. She done some voice overs for Discovery and History channels.
Kathleen Turner would be good. She has the right voice. I think I would like her better than Judi Dench. I think they got in their mind they need a british accent to narrate it now.

I was hoping someone would know who I was talking about and not assume that it's some guy having to do with tea...mindflipper wrote:I think we want people to still be awake by the end of the ride...MmeLeota wrote:How about James Lipton?![]()

No offense to Mr. Lipton, as much as I love the show, I think we would all be catching some serious zzz's!

Though wouldn't you just love to have the video of your future contain a mini interview? Of course, we couldn't safely answer one of my favorite questions...what's your favorite curse word?

Re: Spaceship Earth Narrator...
Be honest, I always thought they dumped Conkrite's narration because it was causing some serious snoozefests for the riders...
So, if Brits can only do the narration from now on, what about Tom Baker?

Yeah, I'll admit that's probably true. The best part about Cronkite's version was Tomorrow's Child...mindflipper wrote:Be honest, I always thought they dumped Conkrite's narration because it was causing some serious snoozefests for the riders...

So does it strictly have to be Brits? What about Pierce Brosnan or Sean Connery? (ok, I guess I've got a 007 thing going on here...
