Dubai Dreams - or "Dyoobai Dreams" more like

Dear BBC,

After coming here and taking the time to produce a six part series on the sandlands, was it really so fking hard to find a narrator who can:

1. Pronounce "Dubai"
2. Have a modicum of animation in his voice

This is arguably the worst narration I have ever heard in any documentary series ever. Even those "Worlds Cutest Puppy's" [sic] DVDs in Virgin Megastore sport richer vocal talent.

Credit to you for using a "regional" accent - but next time try broadening your search beyond Scunthorpe Council Morgue.

yours sincerely

Actually, I pronounce it Dyoo-bai rather than Du-bai.

Haven't seen the series, though.
