Discovery changed the narrator??

*shakes head* why? If an American documentary is narrated by an American we just listen to it with that original narrator.

I noticed recently that Ken Follet's 'Whiteout' on audio book is narrated by a different narrator for the American audience. Over here the narrator is David Tennant, using his native Scottish accent. Whilst I get that this might be less comfortable than an American accent, it seemed a strange choice to me. Whiteout is set in Scotland and all bar two of the characters are Scottish.
