For some inexplicable reason I watched the better part of "The Road Warrior"
on NBC Sunday night.  I guess I must have wanted to hear the sound track in
stereo in the privacy of my own home.

I should have bought the record.

For some inexplicable reason the TV cut of the film has dubbed the narrator's
voice with someone who is trying to sound like the original narrator, but with
a less Austrialian accent.  Insofar as I can tell, the script (in that area)
was unchanged, just a different voice was used in the voice-overs.

As the original was quite intelligible, I can find no reason for this beyond
the fact that NBC might have wanted the film to be more "American."  Any
ideas?
