Somewhat ironically, Grant Denyer has been chosen to re-voice Seven’s new series with collisions, devastation and implosions, Destroyed in Seconds.
Denyer was famously injured in a monster truck collison last year and regularly partakes in motor racing events.
The series, produced for the Discovery Channel, has already aired here on Pay TV with its original narrator, Ron Pitts.
“Destroyed In Seconds is a gob-smacking program that has you constantly asking ‘how on earth did that happen?'” says Grant Denyer.
“If it’s broken, blown up, caught on fire, flipped over or fallen down – it’s here! All from the safety of your own couch. It’s immensely refreshing to show off some fairly sticky situations and know that I’m in no way responsible or involved!
“I’m not one to cheer others misfortune but gee its hard to look away when you’re watching the most amazing situations turn from bad to worse. It’s gut wrenching stuff.”
Seven originally slated the series to begin tonight in some cities, but it will now premiere on Monday October 5 at 8:00pm on Seven.

i like how Seven says s**t like “we are bringing you the action from around the world, etc etc” but all they are doing is re-cutting an old series which has already played about 3 times on Foxtel. Grant Denyer is about as exciting as cotton wool compared to Ron Pitts. He has managed to make an exciting show boring.
Pathetic free to air – die soon please.
Can someone please tell Grant Denyer the correct way to say accellarate. It’s Not Eggzellerate…. Most annoying. Considering his motor sport background, he should know this word.
I suppose I’ll just have to Eggzept (accept) it! LOL.
According to on air promos, Border Security now airs Sunday and Monday 7.30. So I guess plans to air this must be out?
Nope. Border is 30 mins.
Foxtel EPG fixed now…FlashForward is thankfully being shown on the HD channel!
Funnily enough 7HD have this scheduled on the (foxtel) EPG on Monday 28/9 from 8pm-10.30? But no HD broadcast of FlashForward at 8.30…seems odd!
Well suppose Seven got to use Grant his not doing much else at network apart from some guest reporting on Sunday Night,getting paid big bucks and not doing much.
Thanks for posting the article-anmd mentioning Ron Pitss (who does the narration for this show on the Discovery Channel)-it’ll be interesting to see Grant Denyer doing the narration for the show for 7.
This sounds like the Mythbusters narration debacle again…for the first few seasons on SBS we had some horrible Australian narrator.
LOL Nick – that was the first thing I thought of when I read the headline. “When Surgery Goes Wrong” can’t be too far away on Ch. 7…
Wish they would re-voice wipeout usa on GO! I can’t stand those 2 commentators.
Do we know if there’ll ever be another It Takes Two? I really enjoyed that show.
Nope.
Grant Denyer narrating implosions sounds silly… Seven, just play a O’seas doco series with the original narrator for once.
That Simpsons quote was from ‘Lisa the Simpson,’ in which Lisa accepts she is turning stupid and joins Homer and Bart to watch ‘When Buildings Collapse’ and ‘When Surgery Goes Wrong.’
‘Destroyed in Seconds’ says a lot about what Channel Seven thinks of their audience.
“Man has always loved his buildings, but what happens when the buildings say no more?” (The Simpsons, 1998)
what this picture from, is it from an episode
Yup.
