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:

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:

But then again, these things are always cheesey :D

Kenneth Brannagh, JK Rowling, Paul, Rowan Atkinson, Daniel Craig, and of course our glorious Sovereign.

Wished I could have been with the rest of my family back in London

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

Well they managed 4th with 47 medals in Beijing 19 gold. so i hope on home turf. usually perform well in boxing, swimming, rowing.

Cricket is sort of sport... unlike golf, darts, bowls, ten pin, snooker, cards, :bolt:

wtf was that all; about....beggers beleif
I know Mr Bean???!!! screwy..but i think he has gone global in a vile viral way so its something a worldwide audience knows...Benny hill would have been classic although not at all pc these days...

BlackAdder however has to be one of my fave shows in BBC history..... aside from Dr Who and Monty Python.
