Where is the UK version available? Are all the current versions American dubbed?
I'm not sure which version I've got - it seems to be the same one I recall seeing years ago, but I'm not sure. I saw the 1979 version on television when it first aired, and didn't see it again until 1983, when it was on VHS. I can't reliably say whether they differed - it's been too long ago.

It's kind of annoying that YouTube only seems to have the American version - I can't make fun of the version I grew up with :(
I like it, but I always found the acting funny in the UK version.
My favorite Final Destination is the 4th – DEAL with it!
Your reply prompted me to look on Youtube, and I found this:

The comparison here is between the 1979 UK version and the 1988 BBC live-action version, but still the cartoon is clearly different from the version it's now clear to me that I've got. Compare with the same scene in this version, at 3:50:

The difference is now evident, and I'm annoyed: the UK voice cast is indeed the one I first viewed in 1979, and a couple of times subsequently in the early 80s. How do I go about getting that UK version???

I think I've found the UK version here.

The UK version has been available for ages on DVD, surely?? I bought this a good 2 or 3 years ago and is definitely the UK voices I grew up on:

I got this recently from a bargain bin for around 1 EUR, so I am sure there must be more of this DVD available somewhere.
