That would make much more sense...I'll get my coat.

I think the YouTube clip comes from the US HBO version, which was aired at around the same time as the BBC version. I suspect it was released around the same time so people would watch it on HBO, instead of getting it online.

That's a great point - I had wondered who Katie Couric was.

Perversely, I'm fairly sure this is the same version originally aired, otherwise I'm not sure how the American edit got up on YouTube so quickly. This copy was published pretty much the day after I watched it on tv.

You've got to expect some pandering to an international audience given Ricky Gervais's popularity, though. I didn't feel that it was any less aimed at the home audience than earlier stuff.

Interesting that this has been edited from the original BBC version I watched.

Katie Couric = Kate Adie
American Idol = X Factor

They have obviously dubbed this version to be more understandable to an American audience. That kind of pandering to American tastes displeases me.
