Production values and narrators...

Jun 15, 2003 1:43 AM

The History Channel continually maintains and improves the production value of their docs, and the dramatic aspect is usually well executed. This "vehicle" for moving a story along cannot be overstated.
I realize I'm stepping into production issues, and thus out of my realm of influence, but I'd like to see some narrators utilized more often.
A few that come to mind are Harlan Saperstein, Wil Lyman, and Peter Thomas. Yes, I know they're probably high-priced, but you get what you pay for. And, their inflection, timbre, and delivery can't be beat.
And no, this is an unsolicited plug. :)
Keep up the good work!

Is there a list of all the narrators on Modern Marvels.

I agree that Harlan is about as good as it gets, but the writing from Max's crew is very good and his inflection is excellent.
