Amazing that it would air so much later in some countries, especially the repeat airings in Australia. I would have thought Lucas would have more control / clout than to allow that to happen.

I just found the French version on YouTube -- it's a weird transfer, because it looks like it's a video recording of a television broadcast, filmed at an angle. Weirder still, it's the WMAR broadcast. About 3:45 into the video:

Do I have that correct? Did that version actually broadcast in France, or is this something else?

And does anyone know of a clearer source for the French broadcast?

Also, is the following an actual broadcast that was dubbed in Spanish?

Lastly, for now, I'm assuming that these subtitles are after the fact. Am I correct?

The subtitles seem to be much clearer than the video, which makes me doubt them to be the broadcast you've listed. But I'd be happy to be wrong.

Thanks!
