World's Most Amazing Videos (partially found British dub of American reality TV series; 2005-2011)
World's Most Amazing Videos is an American reality TV series produced by Nash Entertainment and NBCUniversal. The series was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Bravo, its sister channel Bravo 2 and Channel One (formerly known as Virgin 1) until their closure in January 2011. Series 1 was narrated by David Wartnaby, and Series 2 and 3 by Lee Boardman.
As of 2024, the show has not been broadcast on any UK TV channels since the closure of the Bravo channels and Channel One. As such, episodes of the UK dub are very hard to find online, with only two episodes having been found in full so far.
