Can you please find a version of that which has either subtitles, or is in English?
Thanks.
Won't you need it re-translating if they change it into English?

It's funny, I have no problem understanding Strine, or almost any of the various colonial accents, and yet people quite often have problems understanding me - and Americans seem to often struggle to understand Aussie's, South Africans and what-have-you.
Maybe it's because growing up we were subjected to large amounts of American and Australian TV and movies?
Or maybe it's because once you've figured out how to understand Glaswegians and Aberdonians, anything else is trivial.
I was only joking

Well, there's Strine (I worked with an Aussie and a Kiwi), and then there's whatever the hell that was.

It would be interesting to hear George Washington speak, and how he had an "accent".

I would imagine it would have sounded vaguely "British."
