Is it narrated by the Barry Humphries of Dane Edna fame??

If so, why no Aussie accent whatsoever??

He has lived most of his adult life in the UK.

I guess so, but that accent sticks- especially given that his Dame Edna persona is so Aussie?

He is an actor/comedian and Dame Edna is a caricature.

I think he was of an age and class not to have had a 'strine' accent. Much less pronounced for some in the 40s/50s and then all those years living here.
