Mrs Cake's got it on. I can tell you what's happening if you like.
And now a dancer's dancing... I'd love to see that commentary!
So far we've seen...And now a dancer's dancing... I'd love to see that commentary!
- Horses and farm stuff.
- The Shipping Forecast.
- Brunel bringing about the Industrial Revolution with the aid of interpretive dance.
- Pearly Kings and Queens
- The actual proper Queen parachuting in with the actual proper James Bond
- Poorly kids having a dance with their doctors
Now we have some goblins and the Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I expected it to be absolutely awful. But it's been really good. All my cynical notions and expectations blown away. And it's even had a funny bit!
To be fair, I've been pleasantly surprised so far. I particularly enjoyed the chimneys.
EDIT: Now they're playing Tiger Feet, no doubt in tribute to Hull City. I'm genuinely moved.

All of it, the logo, the branding; it makes far more sense now that we've seen much of the opening ceremony and how they're trying to portray contemporary Britain... emphatically not as a historical theme park. Wonder how much sense it's going to make to an outside audience.
Great show. Great soundtrack. Some beautiful touches and some lovely humour.
Super.
I was in the same boat as you before it started but I've really enjoyed it. I wasn't going to watch it but the snippet of Tiger Feet in the preview caught my attention.
Danny Boyle's played a blinder.
Certainly has. I've really enjoyed the ceremony so farDanny Boyle's played a blinder.

'Team GB'? Pah, never mind them I'm supporting the Independent Olympic Athletes. They're ace.
Dun Kno.
I wasn't going to watch it, but from the sounds of it I'll nab a recording tomorrow
Full TV schedule?
Does anybody know where I can find a version of this chart that's already adjusted for Pacific Daylight Time?
I'd much prefer that to scrolling through a guide one day and hour at a time, as you have to do here.

Yes indeed.Danny Boyle's played a blinder.
The Arctic Monkeys playing "Come Together" and the petal structure which formed the flame sealed the deal for me. Makes me wonder what they'll do for the closer... (if there was room in the budget for one
)Costas and Lauer: "This is just a great cover of Come Together by the Arctic Monkeys"
If it's so great, when why don't you shut the **** up and let us listen?
These two clowns need to keep their mouth shut. So far, Matt Lauer has equated Kazakstan with Borat, said Mongolians wear funny clothes, could only think of the movie when Madagascar marched out, said Mexicans really like soccer, and asked why Luxemborg didn't march in the g-spot.
If these guys keep talking over Paul McCartney's performance, I'm going to throw my remote through the TV.
