Mayday! A Quick Question

bodhrandude · 2011-01-26 19:23:06

Just curious, Mayday which is shown on RTE 2 on Wednesdays at 7pm, is this in fact the same programme from the National Geographics Air Crash Investigation series. Why is the need to re-title the programme.

It's called Mayday in Canada, so I assume RTE bought it from Canada (strangely enough it has a UK narrator) and didn't change the titles.
