I came across this in the middle of this http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/03 ... ie_barker/:
Then I went looking for the original ... and discovered sometimes making something politically correct makes it funnier - even if it requires replacing John Cleese with Stephen Fry.

That's some gorgeous (if desolate) terrain, Dartz. It must be even more beautiful when it's all green...

It never is. That's over peat-bogs and the like, so the vegetation is always fairly brown and sullen. When the clouds roll in it al goes just a bit Mordor.

The road's apparently rather poor, going by your grunts. I'll second that the place is rather good looking.

I'd say the vocalisations are more a side effect from filming one handed. Hmm, I've belted down a similar road at 100kph but that had more places to dive off. That road to me's a 60kph one, conditions depending.

Fairly rough and sports suspension.
Could've gone faster, but slow traffic and death...... Last time I was up that road was mid-winter and nearly pitched it over a cliff on ice.

I had to go looking for more of this -- turns out she's a Irish girl, and she was just on Britain's Got Talent 2015 earlier this year. Catch the clip below -- and watch the expressions on the judges' faces when she explodes into action!

OK, it's not a direct link to the images, just to the Tumblr post which features them. But they're animated.

Another video from Cmdr.Hadfield's album.
Listen to the song before opening this up: Is it just my imagination, or am I hearing him channel his inner Neil Young in this one?
