Thoroughly nailed the opening ceremony though. Usually dreadful tosh with eucks of people waving silky things but that was superb.

Pretty much encompassed most of modern British history. I was wholly sceptical initially but I have to say I was impressed.

Not to say 9 billion squids couldn't have been spent more sensibly :old:

Some of the crowd booing when the Argies marched out made me laugh.

Not too sure whether it was for the hand of god or for 'las malvinas'

Either way they should receive a good kick in the fork for booing athletes :old:

I thought it was spectacular, if a bit cheesey.

But then again, these things are always cheesey  :D

If they could've made everyone one run twice as fast and played the Benny hill theme song, that would've been nice to see.

Brannagh was good, Queen was a good egg with the bond thing, Rowan Atkinson was his usual crappy tedious self. God alone knows why his most successful character is Bean
