Some *are* co-financed by the american station/network.
As for the altered narration it is easy to understand: Political Correctness.
Discovery does it all the time: Out go old white males like Attenborough, in come old females like Streep and Weaver and old black males like Morgan (everywhere) Freeman. At least they're not (yet) going with the likes of Snooki or Miley Cyrus.
