An old cartoon When I was little, I used to watch a cartoon called "Kipper the dog". It was broadcasted on Saturdays at 8am, and I would get up a few minutes before and turn on TV just to watch Kipper's adventures. The show was translated into Spanish, and I remember that Kipper's voice was so cute and calm. He was such a cute dog! But the reason why I'm writing about Kipper is because today I watched all the episodes on YouTube. I couldn't believe they were available, and guess what? Kipper's got a beautiful British accent. It's so great, I practiced my listening abilities by watching one of my favourite childhood's cartoon. I'm so happy. Kipper and his friends reminded me of my days as a little girl.

I have seen this, and yes it is very Brittish. Even the name "Kipper" sounds Brittish to me.

I did the same thing a while back with the Flintstones (Los Picapiedras), and was very suprised at the difference in Pedro's voice from the cartoon voice that I remember growing up!

The verb "broadcast" has two accepted past tense forms: broadcast and broadcasted. The first one is by far the preferred one in American English. There is a verb "to kipper," which means to cut open a fish and process it by drying, salting, and smoking it. Here "smoking" means "ahumar," not "fumar!" :)
