You are entirely right, of course. I was just amused that it sounded like a cheap FX pedal. My bad.

It is a good demo of the effect, actually. It's just that we're moving into a post-Photoshop world, where people's first reaction when they run across a piece of film which "looks strange" is "oh, they shot that on a sound stage in Pasadena". So yeah, I plead guilty to being far too cynical.

They did show a condensed half hour version of Mythbusters on BBC2 a few years ago and yes Brainiac is only on Sky. It mostly involves blowing up caravans
