And most if not all the "Over"s were produced and broadcast on our local PBS station, KCTS, ch. 9 and broadcast and broadcast and...well, you get the idea. This from the early days of HDTV.

Hi Gill, the European series or the American ones?
I find them quite different; the European versions have a hypnotic quality to them, with a strong zoom, long shots, and a slow-flying helicopter to let us see what's hapenning on the ground. It's great to see an Italian motorscooter whiz through a public square, or a pedestrian try to negotiate a traffic circle in England.
The American ones I've seen on Equator cut too quickly and fly way too fast.

Whoops, should have made that clear. I was referring to the North American Overs which seem more poetic (?) and I don't much like the commentator. The European Overs are VOOM exclusives and show a more professional touch which we find more enjoyable.
